The wavelength of the short radio waves, micro waves, ultraviolet waves are

{\lambda _1},\,\,{\lambda _2}\,\,\mathrm{and}\,\,{\lambda _3}

respectively. Arrange them in decreasing order

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{\lambda _1},\,{\lambda _2},{\lambda _3}

Option D (

{\lambda _2},{\lambda _1},{\lambda _3}

) is correct because it arranges the wavelengths in decreasing order, knowing that microwaves have the longest wavelength, followed by short radio waves, and then ultraviolet waves.
