The correct match between the entries in column I and column II are:

Radiation
(a) Microwave
(b) Gamma rays
(c) A.M. radio waves
(d) X-rays

Wavelength
(i) 100 m
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
  1. (A)(a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)✓ Correct
  2. (B)(a)-(i), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii)
  3. (C)(a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv)
  4. (D)(a)-(ii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(iii)

Answer: (A)

Solution

Energy and wavelength vary oppositely through , so the most energetic radiation has the shortest wavelength. Gamma rays are shortest at about m, X-rays next at about m, microwaves near m, and AM radio waves longest at about m. Matching each band to its wavelength gives microwave with m, gamma rays with m, AM radio waves with m, and X-rays with m.
