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

The energy of gamma `(gamma)` ray photon is `E_(gamma)` and that of an X-rays 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

`E_(gamma) ge 100 keV, E_(X) = 100 eV` to `100 keV`.
So, we can say that `E_(y) gt E_(x) gt E_(v)`,
