X-rays, gamma rays and microwaves travelling in vacuum have

A

same frequency and same velocities

B

same frequency and same velocities

C

same velocity and different wavelengths.

D

same frequency and different velocities

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In vacuum, X-rays, gamma rays and microwaves travels with the same velocity i.e., speed of light `(c=3 xx 10^8 m//s)` but different wavelengths.
