Electromagnetic waves with wavelength 10 nm are called:

Question

The electric field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by \(E_z = 60 \cos(5x + 1.5 \times 10^{10} t)\) V/m. Then expression for the corresponding magnetic field (\(B_y\)) is (here subscripts denote the direction of the field) is:

Answer 1

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.
