If `lambda_(1)` and `lambda_(2)` are the wavelength of characteristic `X` - rays and gamma rays respectively , then the relation between them is

A

`lambda_(1) = (1)/(lambda_(2))`

B

`lambda_(1) = lambda_(2)`

C

`lambda_(1) gt lambda_(2)`

D

`lambda_(1) lt lambda_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In general `X` - rays have larger wavelength than that of gamma rays.
