Question
Name of physical quantity which remains same for microwaves of wavelength 1 mm and UV radiations of 1600 Å in vacuum.

Solution
Both microwaves and UV rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thus, the physical quantity that remains same for both types of radiation will be their speeds, equal to c.
