Question

Which of the following is false about the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation?

(a) Radiation with short wavelengths have high energies

(b) Energy does not depend on wavelength

(c) Radiation with long wavelengths have low energies

(d) Energy depends on wavelength

The question was posed to me in an interview for job.

This interesting question is from Spectral Method of Analysis in portion Colorimetry and Spectrometry of Analytical Instrumentation

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) Energy does not depend on wavelength

For explanation: The radiations with short wavelength have high energies and vice versa. Thus, energy depends on wavelength.
