The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the frequencies of X-rays, Gamma rays, and visible light, we need to understand the relationship between their frequencies. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Frequencies**: - Let the frequency of X-rays be represented as \( a \). - Let the frequency of Gamma rays be represented as \( b \). - Let the frequency of visible light be represented as \( c \). 2. **Understand the Order of Frequencies**: - It is known from physics that the frequency of Gamma rays is greater than that of X-rays, which in turn is greater than that of visible light. Therefore, we can express this relationship as: \[ b > a > c \] 3. **Rearranging the Inequalities**: - From the relationship \( b > a > c \), we can derive: - \( a < b \) (X-ray frequency is less than Gamma ray frequency) - \( a > c \) (X-ray frequency is greater than visible light frequency) - \( b > c \) (Gamma ray frequency is greater than visible light frequency) 4. **Analyze the Options**: - We need to check the validity of the inequalities based on the given options. The correct relationships derived are: - \( a < b \) (True) - \( b > c \) (True) - \( a > c \) (True) 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct order of frequencies is: \[ a < b \quad \text{and} \quad b > c \] - Therefore, the correct option that represents this relationship is the one that states \( a < b \) and \( b > c \). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that the frequency of X-rays \( a \) is less than the frequency of Gamma rays \( b \), and the frequency of Gamma rays \( b \) is greater than the frequency of visible light \( c \).
