The correct option, if in vacuum the speed of `gamma`-rays, x-rays and micro wave are `v_g,v_x` and `v_m` respectively, will

A

`v_g lt v_x lt v_m`

B

`v_g lt v_x gt v_m`

C

`v_g gt v_x gt v_m`

D

`v_g=v_x=v_m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`gamma`-rays ,x-rays, microwaves all are part of
electromagnetic spectrum, hence all travel with
same speed in vacuum, i.e., speed of light.
