(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The highest energy electromagnetic radiation with the given wave number ($c{m}^{-1}$) or with the given wave length ($nm$) should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Electromagnetic radiation: It is emitted in discrete units known as photons that travel at the speed of light as electromagnetic waves.  Electromagnetic energy is classified increasing energy or decreasing wavelength into ratio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, UV, X-rays and gamma rays.

IR frequency ($c{m}^{-1}$): The radiation ranging $600-4000c{m}^{-1}$ is passed through a sample and is absorbed by the bonds of the molecules in the samples causing them to stretch or bend the wave length of the radiation absorbed is characteristics of the bond absorbing it.  It is the number of wave crests that pass by a given point in one second frequency has units of hertz $\left(Hz\right)$.

Wavelength: It identified the distance from any point on one wave to the corresponding point on the next wave, or its wavelength is generally measured in nanometers (${\text{1 nm=10}}^{\text{-9}}\text{m}$).

Interpretation:

The highest energy electromagnetic radiation among the given wavelength has to be identified.
