Arrange the following types of radiation in increasing order of frequency:
$(a)$ radiation from microwave oven
$(b)$ amber light from traffic signal
$(c)$ radiation from $FM$ radio
$(d)$ cosmic rays from outer space
$(e)$ $X$-rays
$(a)$ radiation from microwave oven
$(b)$ amber light from traffic signal
$(c)$ radiation from $FM$ radio
$(d)$ cosmic rays from outer space
$(e)$ $X$-rays
(C-A-B-E-D) The electromagnetic spectrum in increasing order of frequency is: $FM$ radio waves < microwave radiation < visible light (amber) < $X$-rays < cosmic rays.
The order is: $(c) < (a) < (b) < (e) < (d)$.
The order is: $(c) < (a) < (b) < (e) < (d)$.
| Radiation Type | Frequency Range $(Hz)$ |
| $(c)$ $FM$ radio | $\sim 10^{6}$ |
| $(a)$ Microwave | $\sim 10^{10}$ |
| $(b)$ Amber light | $\sim 10^{14}$ |
| $(e)$ $X$-rays | $10^{17} - 10^{19}$ |
| $(d)$ Cosmic rays | $> 10^{20}$ |
