The x ray has shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays.
To determine the correct option among all the options, we need to know about the order of electromagnetic waves in EM spectrum with respect to wavelength.
What is electromagnetic spectrum?
- Electromagnetic spectrum consists of electric field and magnetic field.
- Both electric and magnetic fields are transverse waves and the direction of vibration of both waves are perpendicular each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
- It moves with a speed of 3×10⁸ m/s in vaccum or space.
What is the order of different electromagnetic waves in electromagnetic spectrum with respect to wavelength?
In the sense of wavelength, the increasing order of wavelengths of different electromagnetic waves are as follows
- Gamma rays
- X-rays
- Ultraviolet rays
- Visible rays
- Infrared rays
- Microwave
- Radiowave
Thus, we can conclude that before ultraviolet rays, the X-ray has shorter wavelength among all the given rays.
