Match the List-I with List-II: Radio wave, Microwave, Infrared wave, X-ray | JEE Main Physics
Q. Match the List-I with List-II and choose the correct answer from the options given below.
List-I List-II
A. Radio-wave I. is produced by Magnetron valve
B. Micro-wave II. due to change in the vibrational modes of atoms
C. Infrared-wave III. due to inner shell electrons moving from higher energy level to lower energy level
D. X-ray IV. due to rapid acceleration of electrons

(A) A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

(B) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

(C) A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

(D) A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

Correct Answer: (C) A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Explanation

Radio waves are produced due to rapid acceleration of electrons in antennas.

Microwaves are produced using a magnetron valve.

Infrared waves originate due to vibrational motion of atoms and molecules.

X-rays are produced when inner shell electrons transition from higher energy levels to lower energy levels.

Hence, the correct matching is:

A → IV, B → I, C → II, D → III
