Name the rays or waves of wavelength nearly

Name the rays or waves of wavelength nearly \( 0.1 n m \)

  • A. IR rays
  • B. UV rays
  • C. Gamma rays
  • D. x-rays

Step-by-step solution

Wavelength of 0.1 nm corresponds to 1 Å, which lies in the X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum (typically 0.01 nm to 10 nm). UV rays are longer (10–400 nm), IR rays are longer (700 nm–1 mm), and gamma rays are shorter (< 0.01 nm). Therefore, X-rays are correct.
