The correct answer to the question is : C) By their wavelength

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the electromagnetic spectrum.

An electromagnetic wave is the transverse wave which contains time varying electric field and magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

There are various electromagnetic waves which are named as gamma ray, X-ray, U.V ray, visible light, infrared wave, micro wave and radio waves respectively. Out of these waves, only visible light can be visualized by human eye.

Every electromagnetic wave is characterized by its wavelength. Different waves have different range of wavelength.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the the arrangement of electromagnetic waves either in ascending order of wavelength or in descending order.

The gamma ray has the minimum wavelength in the spectrum, and radio wave has the maximum wavelength.

The energy carried by electromagnetic waves having wavelength \lambda is calculated as-

                  Energy = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

Here, c is the velocity of light and h is the Planck' s constant.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is wavelength which will signify the energy of different types of electromagnetic waves.

The energy associated with the electromagnetic spectrum is given by the wavelength of the spectrum.

Further Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves are the waves which travel through the space and do not require any medium for their propagation. The Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are transverse in nature.

There are several waves of various wavelength and frequency present in the Electromagnetic spectrum. The different waves present in the electromagnetic spectrum are:

  • Gamma rays.
  • X-rays.
  • Ultraviolet rays.
  • Visible rays.
  • Infrared rays.
  • Micro waves.
  • Radio waves.

The wavelength and the frequency of the electromagnetic waves are the key properties of the wave which describe several other parameters of the waves like intensity, power, energy of the wave etc.

The energy associated with the electromagnetic radiation is given by:

  E=\frac{{hc}}{\lambda}

Here, E  is the energy of the radiation, h  is the plank’s constant, c  is the speed of the light and \lambda  is the wavelength of the radiation.

Therefore, the above expression shows that the energy of the electromagnetic spectrum depends on the wavelength of the spectrum.

Thus, Option (d) is correct. The energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is defined by their wavelength.

<span>1.    </span>Meiosis has 2 cell divisions but mitosis has only one cell division. Meiosis I is same as mitosis because parent cell produces diploid cells. But the difference between meiosis and mitosis is after the complete process meiosis produces genetically different haploid daughter cells and mitosis produces genetically same diploid daughter cells.


<span>2.    </span>The main advantage of the sexual reproduction is It helps to produce offspring which can be well adapted to the environmental conditions due to the genetically differentiations. Hence, there are various types of offspring in the population. But the disadvantage is it requires two parents and it requires more time than asexual reproduction.


<span>3.    </span>Advantages of asexual reproduction are it requires only parent, time for the process is relatively low, it produces genetically identical offspring. The main disadvantage is due to the production of genetically identical offspring, the survival rate is low when there is a disaster.


<span>4.    </span><span>The organism can do either sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction to produce offspring. If it is difficult to find a partner to mate, the living being can do asexual reproduction to make offspring in a short period of time. When the organism needs genetically different offspring for survival, they can do sexual reproduction.</span>
