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
Energy of a photon , `E = h upsilon`
As `upsilon_(gamma) gt upsilon_x gt upsilon_v`
`therefore E_(gamma) gt E_(x) gt E_(v)`
