Electromagnetic waves with wavelength 10 nm are called:

• A. Infrared waves
• B. Ultraviolet rays
• C. Gamma rays
• D. X-rays

Hint:

Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths smaller than 100 nm are typically considered gamma rays.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Electromagnetic waves are categorized based on their wavelengths. Gamma rays, possessing the highest frequency and shortest wavelength, correspond to a 10 nm wavelength. This is considerably shorter than the wavelengths of ultraviolet rays or X-rays.
