Which is the correct ascending order of wavelengths?

Asked in JEE Main 26th June 2nd Shift 2022 · Order of the bands

Answer: (2) λ_gamma-ray < λ_X-ray < λᵥisible < λₘicrowave

Step-by-step solution

Table 8.1: gamma < 10⁻³ nm, X-rays 1 nm to 10⁻³ nm, light 700 nm to 400 nm, microwave 0.1 m to 1 mm

Reading those four ranges left to right gives gamma < X-ray < visible < microwave
