Asked in JEE Main 27th June 1st Shift 2022 · Uses and atmospheric effects

Answer: (1) (A)-(iii), (B)-(iv), (C)-(ii), (D)-(i)

Step-by-step solution

UV kills germs (8.4.5, water purifiers), hence sterilising surgical instruments → (iii)

8.4.2: microwaves are suitable for radar systems → (iv); 8.4.3: infrared maintains the earth's warmth through the greenhouse effect → (ii)

X-ray wavelengths (1 nm to 10⁻³ nm match interatomic spacing, so X-rays study crystal structure → (i)
