Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement about gamma rays is true or false, we need to analyze the provided information regarding their wavelength. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Gamma Rays**: Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation. They are known for having very short wavelengths. 2. **Identify the Given Wavelength Range**: The statement claims that gamma rays have a wavelength of \(10^{-6}\) cm to \(10^{-5}\) cm. 3. **Know the Actual Wavelength Range for Gamma Rays**: The accepted range for gamma rays is approximately \(10^{-9}\) cm to \(10^{-10}\) cm. This means gamma rays have wavelengths that are much shorter than those mentioned in the statement. 4. **Compare the Given Range with the Accepted Range**: The provided range (\(10^{-6}\) cm to \(10^{-5}\) cm) is significantly longer than the actual range for gamma rays (\(10^{-9}\) cm to \(10^{-10}\) cm). 5. **Conclusion**: Since the given wavelength range does not match the accepted range for gamma rays, the statement is false. ### Final Answer: The statement is **false**. ---
