Using the figure below,which type of electromagnetic wave has a frequency of approximately 3 × 10¹⁷ Hz? 
A) X-rays 
B) infrared 
C) microwave 
D) radio

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As per the given figure, the frequency range of X-rays is approximately 10¹⁶ to 10¹⁹ Hz. Therefore, the frequency of 3 × 10¹⁷ Hz falls within the range of X-rays. Hence option (A) is the correct answer. The frequency range of infrared is from 3 × 10¹¹ to 4 × 10¹⁴ Hz, microwave is from 3 × 10⁹ to 3 × 10¹¹ Hz, and radio waves are from 3 × 10³ to 3 × 10⁹ Hz, so they are not the correct choices.
