The frequency of e.m wave which is best ...

The frequency of `e.m` wave which is best suit to observe a particle of radius `3xx10^(-4)` is of order of:

A

`10^(15)Hz`

B

`10^(14)Hz`

C

`10^(13)Hz`

D

`10^(12)Hz`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Let `lambda` be the radius of the particle then
`lambda=3xx10^(-4)xx10^(-2)m=3xx10^(-6)m`
Frequency of electromagnetic wave,
`upsilon=(c)/(lambda)=(3xx10^(8))/(3xx10^(-6))=10^(14)`
Thus to obseve the particle, the frequency of wave should be more than `10^(14)` i.e `10^(15)` Hz or smaller value of wavelength.
