The energy of gamma (gamma) ray photon i...

The energy of gamma (`gamma`) ray photon is `E_gamma` and that of an X-ray photon is `E_X`. If the visible light photon has an energy of `E_v`, then we can say that

A

`E_X gt E_gamma gt E_v`

B

`E_gamma gt E_v gt E_X`

C

`E_gamma gt E_X gt E_v `

D

`E_X gt E_v gt E_gamma`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The energy of gamma (`gamma`) ray photon, `E_gamma=hf_1` , the energy of X-ray photon, `E_X=hf_2` , and the energy of visible ray photon `E_v=hf_3`.
As, `f_1 = f_2 gt f_3` , so, `E_gamma gt E_X gt E_v `
