Electromagnetic spectrum — practice question

P is a source that gives out infra-red radiation, and Q is a source that gives out ultra-violet radiation. The numbers in the table are proposed wavelength values for the radiation emitted by P and Q. Which row is correct?

  • Awavelength emitted by P $= 5 \times 10^{-5}\,\text{m}$, wavelength emitted by Q $= 5 \times 10^{-8}\,\text{m}$
  • Bwavelength emitted by P $= 5 \times 10^{-5}\,\text{m}$, wavelength emitted by Q $= 5 \times 10^{-10}\,\text{m}$
  • Cwavelength emitted by P $= 5 \times 10^{-7}\,\text{m}$, wavelength emitted by Q $= 5 \times 10^{-8}\,\text{m}$
  • Dwavelength emitted by P $= 5 \times 10^{-7}\,\text{m}$, wavelength emitted by Q $= 5 \times 10^{-10}\,\text{m}$
