Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the standard sources of each electromagnetic radiation

    • Microwaves are commonly produced by a magnetron.
    • Infrared waves are emitted due to vibrations of atoms and molecules.
    • Gamma rays originate from radioactive decay of the nucleus.
    • X-rays are produced when inner shell electrons undergo transitions or due to high-speed electron bombardment.
  2. Match List I with List II

    (a) Source of microwave frequency→(ii) Magnetron(a)\ \text{Source of microwave frequency} \rightarrow (ii)\ \text{Magnetron}(a) Source of microwave frequency→(ii) Magnetron (b) Source of infrared frequency→(iv) Vibration of atoms and molecules(b)\ \text{Source of infrared frequency} \rightarrow (iv)\ \text{Vibration of atoms and molecules}(b) Source of infrared frequency→(iv) Vibration of atoms and molecules (c) Source of Gamma Rays→(i) Radioactive decay of nucleus(c)\ \text{Source of Gamma Rays} \rightarrow (i)\ \text{Radioactive decay of nucleus}(c) Source of Gamma Rays→(i) Radioactive decay of nucleus (d) Source of X-rays→(iii) Inner shell electrons(d)\ \text{Source of X-rays} \rightarrow (iii)\ \text{Inner shell electrons}(d) Source of X-rays→(iii) Inner shell electrons
  3. Compare with the given options

    The matching obtained is:

    (a)−(ii), (b)−(iv), (c)−(i), (d)−(iii)(a)-(ii),\ (b)-(iv),\ (c)-(i),\ (d)-(iii)(a)−(ii), (b)−(iv), (c)−(i), (d)−(iii)

    This corresponds to Option B.

  4. Verification with stored answer

    Stored correct answer is B, which matches our derived answer.
