Correct answer: A

  1. Recall the electromagnetic spectrum order

    In the electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength increases in the following order: Gamma rays<X-rays<Ultraviolet<Visible<Infrared<Microwaves<Radio waves\text{Gamma rays} < \text{X-rays} < \text{Ultraviolet} < \text{Visible} < \text{Infrared} < \text{Microwaves} < \text{Radio waves}Gamma rays<X-rays<Ultraviolet<Visible<Infrared<Microwaves<Radio waves

  2. Identify the given radiations

    • A: Gamma rays  (λ1)\,(\lambda_1)(λ1​)
    • B: X-rays  (λ2)\,(\lambda_2)(λ2​)
    • C: Infrared waves  (λ3)\,(\lambda_3)(λ3​)
    • D: Microwaves  (λ4)\,(\lambda_4)(λ4​)
  3. Arrange in ascending order of wavelength

    Since ascending order means from smallest wavelength to largest wavelength: λ1<λ2<λ3<λ4\lambda_1 < \lambda_2 < \lambda_3 < \lambda_4λ1​<λ2​<λ3​<λ4​

  4. Match with the options

    This corresponds to Option A.

  5. Final answer

    λ1<λ2<λ3<λ4\boxed{\lambda_1 < \lambda_2 < \lambda_3 < \lambda_4}λ1​<λ2​<λ3​<λ4​​ So, the correct option is A.
