Electromagnetic Waves Ques 11

11. The frequency of electromagnetic wave, which is best suited to observe a particle of radius $3 \times 10^{-4} cm$ is of the order of

[1991]

(a) $10^{15}$

(b) $10^{14}$

(c) $10^{13}$

(d) $10^{12}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 11.(b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Size of particle $=\lambda=\frac{c}{v}$

$3 \times 10^{-6}=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{v}$

$v=10^{14} $ $Hz$

When frequency is higher than this, wavelength is still smaller. Resolution becomes better.
