Real questions that test this

अवरक्त प्रकाश किरणांची वारंवारिता ही जांभळ्या रंगाच्या प्रकाश किरणे पेक्षा ____________. Frequency of infrared light is ____________ than violet light.

1)कमी असते / Less than✓ Correct
2)जास्त असते / Greater than
3)बरोबर असते / Equal to
4)वरीलपैकी एकही नाही / None of the above

Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower frequency compared to violet light, which has the highest frequency in the visible spectrum.

पुढील दोन विधानांपैकी कोणते योग्य आहे ? अ. अतिनील किरणे किरकोळ गाठींवर उपयुक्त ठरतात. ब. अवरक्त किरणे रासायनिक द्रव्यांचे पृथक्करण करतात. Which one of the following two statements is correct ? a. Ultraviolet rays help in diagnosis of small tumours. b. Infrared rays help in analysis of chemical compounds.

(a)अतिनील किरणे किरकोळ गाठींवर उपयुक्त ठरतात. / Ultraviolet rays help in diagnosis of small tumours.

(b)अवरक्त किरणे रासायनिक द्रव्यांचे पृथक्करण करतात. / Infrared rays help in analysis of chemical compounds.

1)फक्त अ / Only a
2)फक्त ब / Only b
3)दोनों अ आणि ब / Both a and b
4)दोन्ही नाहीत / Neither a nor b✓ Correct

Ultraviolet rays are not used for diagnosing small tumours (X-rays, gamma rays or MRI are used), and infrared rays are used for studying molecular structure and thermal imaging rather than general chemical compound separation.

अतिनील किरणे _________ मधून आरपार जाऊ शकत नाहीत.

(a)कांच

(b)क्वार्ट्झ

(c)फ्लूओराईट

(d)रॉक सॉल्ट (सैंधव)

1)फक्त अ✓ Correct
2)फक्त ड
3)ब, क आणि ड
4)फक्त ब आणि ड

Ordinary glass absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays and does not allow them to pass through. Quartz, fluorite, and rock salt are transparent to UV rays.
