NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves
The E.M. wave with shortest wavelength among the following is,
- A Microwaves
- B Ultraviolet rays
- C X-rays
- D Gamma-rays
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Gamma-rays
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Gamma rays have wavelength about less than \(10^{-10} m\) to \(10^{-14} m\) which is shortest wavelength among all options.
