P is a source emitting infra-red radiation and Q is a source emitting ultra-violet radiation. The figures in the table are suggested values for the wavelengths emitted by P and Q. Which row is correct?

Awavelength emitted by P/m: 5 x 10⁻⁵, wavelength emitted by Q/m: 5 x 10⁻⁸
Bwavelength emitted by P/m: 5 x 10⁻⁵, wavelength emitted by Q/m: 5 x 10⁻¹⁰
Cwavelength emitted by P/m: 5 x 10⁻⁷, wavelength emitted by Q/m: 5 x 10⁻⁸
Dwavelength emitted by P/m: 5 x 10⁻⁷, wavelength emitted by Q/m: 5 x 10⁻¹⁰

✓ Correct answer

A: wavelength emitted by P/m: 5 x 10⁻⁵, wavelength emitted by Q/m: 5 x 10⁻⁸
