(a) Five radiations, in the order of their increasing frequencies are:
Infrared waves, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays and Gamma rays.
(b) Gamma rays have the highest penetrating power.
(i)Ultraviolet rays-wavelength range 100 Å to 4000 Å
(ii)Visible light-wavelength range 4000 Å to 8000 Å
(iii)Infrared radiations-wavelength range 8000 Å to 107 Å
(i)Microwaves are used for satellite communication.
(ii)Ultraviolet radiations are used for detecting the purity of gems, eggs, ghee etc.
(iii)Infrared radiations are used in remote control of television and other gadgets.
(iv)Gamma rays...
All heated bodies such as a heated iron ball, flame, fire etc., are the sources of infrared radiations.
The electric arc and sparks give ultraviolet radiations.
Infrared radiations are the electromagnetic waves of wavelength in the range of 8000Å to 107Å.
Detection: If a thermometer with a blackened bulb is moved from the violet end towards the...
(a) Infrared radiations travel in straight line as light does, with a speed equal to 3 x 108m/s in vacuum.
(b) They obey the laws of reflection and refraction.
(c) They do...
(i) Infrared radiations are used in photography in fog because they are not much scattered by the atmosphere, so they can penetrate appreciably through it.
(ii) Infrared radiations are used as...
