    Question

    An EM wave has energy of the order of 20 eV. Which part of the EM wave spectrum does it belong to?

    A.

    Ultraviolet

    B.

    Radiowave

    C.

    Visible

    D.

    Infrared

    Correct option is A

    Given:Energy of the electromagnetic (EM) wave, E=20 eVE=hcλ=>λ=1240Eλ=124020=62 nm\textbf{Given:} \\\text{Energy of the electromagnetic (EM) wave, } E = 20 \, \text{eV}\\[10pt]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{1240}{E}\\[10pt]\lambda = \frac{1240}{20} = 62 \, \text{nm}

    Wavelength Range: Ultraviolet (UV) rays: 400 nm to 0.6 nm Visible light: 700 nm to 400 nm\begin{aligned}\textbf{Wavelength Range:} \\\bullet\ \text{Ultraviolet (UV) rays: } 400\,\text{nm} \text{ to } 0.6\,\text{nm} \\\bullet\ \text{Visible light: } 700\,\text{nm} \text{ to } 400\,\text{nm}\end{aligned}​​​
