Match List I with List II:
List-I (Electromagnetic wave)List-II (Production)
A. MicrowaveI. Electrons in atoms emit light when they move from a higher energy level to a lower energy level
B. Visible lightII. Radioactive decay of nucleus
C. Gamma raysIII. Vibration of atoms and molecules
D. Infra-red raysIV. Klystron valve or magnetron valve
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution & Explanation

Core Logic

Correlate each electromagnetic wave with its source of production according to the electromagnetic spectrum:

A. Microwaves are produced by special vacuum tubes, specifically klystrons, magnetrons, and Gunn diodes. (Matches IV)

B. Visible light is emitted when atomic electrons undergo transitions from higher to lower energy levels. (Matches I)

C. Gamma rays are universally generated from the radioactive decay of unstable atomic nuclei. (Matches II)

D. Infrared rays (heat waves) are generated by the thermal vibration of atoms and molecules in a substance. (Matches III)

Step 1: Final Conclusion

A arrow IV B arrow I C arrow II D arrow III

Pattern Recognition

Magnetron is the heart of a microwave oven. Gamma always links to nuclear decay. Infrared is synonymous with thermal atomic vibrations.
