JEE MAIN - Physics (2016 (Offline) - No. 5)

Arrange the following electromagnetic radiations per quantum in the order of increasing energy :

A : Blue light           B : Yellow light

C : X-ray                 D : Radiowave.
C, A, B, D
B, A, D, C
D, B, A, C
A, B, D, C

Explanation

Energy is in terms of increasing wavelength, we have

$$\lambda$$X-rays < $$\lambda$$Blue light < $$\lambda$$Yellow light < $$\lambda$$Radio waves

Since $$E = {{hc} \over \lambda }$$

Therefore, order of increasing energy is

ERadio waves < EYellow light < EBlue light < EX-rays
