Chapter 15: Problem 2183

In electromagnetic spectrum, the visible light lie between (A) radiowaves and microwaves (B) ultraviolet rays and infrared rays (C) ultraviolet rays and \(\mathrm{x}\) rays (D) infrared rays and microwaves

Short Answer

Expert verified
In the electromagnetic spectrum, visible light lies between infrared rays (longer wavelengths) and ultraviolet rays (shorter wavelengths). Therefore, the correct answer is (B) Ultraviolet rays and infrared rays.

Step by step solution

01

List the components of the electromagnetic spectrum in order

Here's the general order of the electromagnetic spectrum, from the longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength: 1. Radiowaves 2. Microwaves 3. Infrared rays 4. Visible light 5. Ultraviolet rays 6. X-rays 7. Gamma rays
02

Examine each choice

Now, let’s examine each of the choices and see which one correctly places visible light between two other types of electromagnetic radiation: (A) Radiowaves and microwaves: Visible light lies between infrared rays and ultraviolet rays, not between radiowaves and microwaves. (B) Ultraviolet rays and infrared rays: This choice correctly places visible light between infrared rays and ultraviolet rays. (C) Ultraviolet rays and X-rays: Visible light lies between infrared rays and ultraviolet rays, not between ultraviolet rays and X-rays. (D) Infrared rays and microwaves: Visible light lies between infrared rays and ultraviolet rays, not between infrared rays and microwaves.
03

Choose the correct answer

Based on our analysis, the correct answer is: (B) Ultraviolet rays and infrared rays. Visible light lies between infrared rays (longer wavelengths) and ultraviolet rays (shorter wavelengths) in the electromagnetic spectrum.
