Question: If $ {\lambda_{1}} $ and $ {\lambda_{2}} $ are the wavelengths of characteristic X-rays and gamma rays respectively, then the relation between them is [MP PMT 1987]

Options:

A) $ {\lambda_{1}}=\frac{1}{{\lambda_{2}}} $

B) $ {\lambda_{1}}={\lambda_{2}} $

C) $ {\lambda_{1}}>{\lambda_{2}} $

D) $ {\lambda_{1}}<{\lambda_{2}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

In general X-rays have larger wavelength than that of gamma rays.
