The range of wavelengths of the infrared waves in an electromagnetic spectrum is \(10^{-3}\) m  to \(10^{-6}\)m. The wavelength of the radiation is

A.

longer than \(10^{-6} m\).

B.

shorter than \(10^{-6} m\).

C.

shorter than \(10^{3} m\).

D.

longer than \(10^{3} m\).

Correct answer is A

The range of wavelengths for infrared waves is given as \(10^{-3}\) m  to \(10^{-6}\)m. This means that the wavelength of the radiation is longer than \(10^{-6} m\) but shorter than \{10^{-3} m\). Therefore, the only correct option is that the wavelength is longer than \(10^{-6} m\).
