This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(i) Microwave is used in satellite communications. So, λ1 is the wavelength of microwave.
(ii) Ultraviolet rays are used to kill germs in water purifier. So, λ2 is the wavelength of UV rays.
(iii) X-rays are used to detect leakage of oil in underground pipelines. So, λ3 wavelength of X-rays.
(iv) Infrared is used to improve visibility on runways during fog and mist conditions. So, it is the wavelength of infrared waves.
(b) Wavelength of X-rays < wavelength of UV < wavelength of infrared < wavelength of microwave.
⇒ λ3 < λ2 < λ4< λ1
(c) (i) Microwave is used in radar.
(ii) UV is used in LASIK eye s

According to definition of displacement current, we can write
B0 = 42.9 × 10-9
42.9 Ans
s? = -? + k? ∴ s? = (-? +k? )/√2
I = P/ (4πr²) . (i)
and I = (1/2)ε? E? ²c . (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
P/ (4πr²) = (1/2)ε? E? ²c
E? = √ (2P/ (4πε? r²c) ; E? = √ (9×10? ×2×15)/ (15×15×10? ×3×10? ) = 2×10? ³ V/m
