Question:

Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): In electromagnetic spectrum, X-rays lie between ultraviolet and \(\gamma\)-rays.
Reason (R): X-rays having wavelengths of the order of more than \(6\ \text{\AA}\).

Show Hint

X-rays are placed between ultraviolet rays and gamma rays in the electromagnetic spectrum.

  • Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  • Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • A is correct but R is not correct
  • A is not correct but R is correct

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
In the electromagnetic spectrum, radiation is arranged according to wavelength or frequency.

Step 1: Check Assertion.

X-rays lie between ultraviolet rays and gamma rays in the electromagnetic spectrum. \[ A \text{ is correct} \]

Step 2: Check Reason.

X-rays have a broad wavelength range and are generally not represented only by wavelengths greater than \(6\ \text{\AA}\). Therefore, the reason is not correct as a general statement. \[ R \text{ is not correct} \]

Step 3: Final conclusion.

Assertion is correct but Reason is not correct. \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (C)} \]
