Enegy associated with X-rays is higher than that of visible light-explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The enegy of an electromagnetic radiation refers to the energy of its photons (hv).
Since, `v_(x-ray) gt v_("visible light"),` hence, `hv_(x-ray) gt hv_("visible light")`
Thus, energy of X-rays is higher than that of visible light.
