Question

what type of radiation corresponds to a wavelength of 2.86 X 10 -8m?wha one would it beGammaUltravioletInfraredRadio

Answer 1

Answer

Ultraviolet

Explanation

The types of radiation and their wavelength are:

Gamma < 10⁻¹² m

X-rays 1 nm - 1 pm

Ultraviolet 400 nm - 1 nm

Visible 750 nm - 400 nm

Near-infrared 2.5 μm - 750 nm

Infrared 25 μm - 2.5 μm

Microwaves 1 mm - 25 μm

Radio waves > 1 mm

Hence, the given wavelength of 2.86 X 10⁻⁸ m corresponds to Ultraviolet.
