Identify the electromagnetic waves whose wavelengths lie in the range (a) 10^(-11)m lt lambda lt 10^(-14)m (b) 10^(-4)m lt lambda lt 10^(-6)m Write one use of each.

Answer»

Solution :(a) `gamma-` RAYS have their wavelengths within the range `10^(-11)m LT lambda lt 10^(-14)m`. These rays are used for treatment of cancer and the TECHNIQUE is KNOWN as, .radio therepy..
(b) Infrared waves have their wavelengths within the range `10^(-4)m lt lambda lt 10^(-6)m`. These rays are widely used in the remote switches of household electronic gadgets such as TV sets, video RECORDERS. Wi-Fi systems etc.
