The wavelengths of short radio waves,$X$-rays,and ultraviolet waves are $\lambda_{1}$,$\lambda_{2}$,and $\lambda_{3}$ respectively. Arrange them in decreasing order.

  • A
    $\lambda_{1} > \lambda_{3} > \lambda_{2}$
  • B
    $\lambda_{1} > \lambda_{2} > \lambda_{3}$
  • C
    $\lambda_{3} > \lambda_{2} > \lambda_{1}$
  • D
    $\lambda_{2} > \lambda_{1} > \lambda_{3}$

List-$I$ List-$II$
$(1)$ $700\, nm$ to $1\, mm$ $(i)$ Vibration of atoms and molecules

$(4)$ $1\, mm$ to $0.1\, m$ $(iv)$ Magnetron valve

Given below are some famous numbers associated with electromagnetic radiations in different contexts in physics. State the part of the electromagnetic spectrum to which each belongs.
$(a)$ $21 \; cm$ (wavelength emitted by atomic hydrogen in interstellar space).
$(b)$ $1057 \; MHz$ (frequency of radiation arising from two close energy levels in hydrogen; known as Lamb shift).
$(c)$ $2.7 \; K$ (temperature associated with the isotropic radiation filling all space; thought to be a relic of the 'big-bang' origin of the universe).
$(d)$ $5890 \; \mathring{A} - 5896 \; \mathring{A}$ (double lines of sodium).
$(e)$ $14.4 \; keV$ (energy of a particular transition in $^{57}Fe$ nucleus associated with a famous high-resolution spectroscopic method, Mossbauer spectroscopy).
