According to the electromagnetic spectrum( an entire range of light waves, radio waves etc), RIVUXG

R-RADIO WAVE

I-INFRA-RED RAYS

V-VISIBLE LIGHT

U- ULTR-AVIOLET RAYS

X- X-RAYS

G-GAMMA RAYS.

Nota Bene: This is a order of increasing FREQUENCY, ENERGY, Penetration but decreasing WAVELENGTH.

As a result the answer his Infr-red, if this order is strictly abide with. Thank you!

From A Source-----»»»...What is Infrared Radiation?

The light we see with our eyes is really a very small portion of

what is called the "Electromagnetic Spectrum." The

Electromagnetic Spectrum includes all types of radiation - from

the X-rays used at hospitals, to radio waves used for

communication, and even the microwaves you cook food with.

Radiation in the Electromagnetic Spectrum is often categorized

by wavelength. Short wavelength radiation is of the highest

energy and can be very dangerous - Gamma, X-rays and

ultraviolet are examples of short wavelength radiation. Longer

wavelength radiation is of lower energy and is usually less

harmful - examples include radio, microwaves and infrared. A

rainbow shows the optical (visible) part of the Electromagnetic

Spectrum and infrared (if you could see it) would be located

just beyond the red side of the rainbow.

Infra-red rays radiates lesser heat...Ultraviolet(sun), Xrays(burning of cancerous cells), Gamma rays(from electromagnetic radiations having extremely high frequencies and high energy photons... )

Gamma rays: Have the highest energy and the shortest wavelength.
X-rays: Have high energy and shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet rays.
Ultraviolet rays: Have higher energy compared to infrared rays.
Infra-red rays: Have the longest wavelengths and thus the lowest energy in this group.
So, the correct answer is A. Infra-red rays.

It is infrared coz they have the least penetrating power

infra-red rays has the least frequency so it is the least energetic

In reverse biased p-n junction diode, the free

electrons begin their journey at the negative

terminal whereas holes begin their journey at the

positive terminal. Free electrons, which begin

their journey at the negative terminal, find large

number of holes at the p-type semiconductor and

fill them with electrons. The atom, which gains

an extra electron, becomes a charged atom or

negative ion or motionless charge. These

negative ions at p-n junction (p-side) oppose the

flow of free electrons from n-side.

On the other hand, holes or positive charges,

which begin their journey at the positive

terminal, find large of free electrons at the n-

type semiconductor and replace the electrons

position with holes. The atom, which loses an

electron, becomes a charged atom or positive

ion. These positive ions at p-n junction (n-side)

oppose the flow of positive charge carriers

(holes) from p-side.

If the reverse biased voltage applied on the p-n

junction diode is further increased, then even

more number of free electrons and holes are

pulled away from the p-n junction. This increases

the width of depletion region. Hence, the width

of the depletion region increases with increase in

voltage. The wide depletion region of the p-n

junction diode completely blocks the majority

charge carriers. Hence, majority charge carriers

cannot carry the electric current.

However, p-n junction diode allows the minority

charge carriers. The positive terminal of the

battery pushes the holes (minority carriers)

towards the p-type semiconductor. In the similar

way, negative terminal of the battery pushes the

free electrons (minority carriers) towards the n-

type semiconductor.

The positive charge carriers (holes) which cross

the p-n junction are attracted towards the

negative terminal of the battery. On the other

hand, the negative charge carriers (free

electrons) which cross the p-n junction are

attracted towards the positive terminal of the

battery. Thus, the minority charge carriers carry

the electric current in reverse biased p-n junction

diode.

The electric current carried by the minority

charge carriers is very small. Hence, minority

carrier current is considered negligible
