Answer:

Correct Answer: 24. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) We know $E=\frac{h c}{\lambda} \Rightarrow E \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$

$\Rightarrow E_m<E_v<E_x$

$\therefore \lambda_m>\lambda_v>\lambda_x$

Energy of electromagnetic wave, $E=\frac{h c}{\lambda}$

For $e m$ wave of lower energy, $(v)$ is small and $\lambda$ is larger. For $e m$ wave of higher energy (v) is large and $\lambda$ is small.
