Question 143 of 165

Match the List-I with List-II: List I List II A Microwaves I Radioactive decay of the nucleus B Gamma rays II Rapid acceleration and deceleration of electron in aerials C Radio waves III Inner shell electrons D X-rays IV Klystron valve Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

(A) A Klystron valve or the magnetron valve are generally used for the production of electromagnetic waves and that electromagnetic wave is Microwave. So, (A)→IV\left(A\right)\rightarrow IV.
(B) Gamma rays are produced during the disintegration of radioactive atomic nuclei and the decay of certain subatomic particles.So,
(B)→I\left(B\right)\rightarrow I
(C) Radio waves can be produced by rapid acceleration and deceleration of electrons in aerials (conductors). These can be detected by receivers of aerials. So,
(C)→II\left(C\right)\rightarrow II
(D) X-rays are produced when a metal target or any other element is bombarded with high energy particles such as electrons, photons or ions. When high energy electrons is incident on a bound electron in an atom, then bound electron emits from the inner shell of that atom. So,
(D)→III\left(D\right)\rightarrow III
