MCQ
If $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are the wavelengths of characteristic X-rays and gamma rays respectively, then the relation between them is
  • A
    $\lambda_1=\frac{1}{\lambda_2}$
  • B
    $\lambda_1=\lambda_2$
  • $\lambda_1>\lambda_2$
  • D
    $\lambda_1<\lambda_2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\lambda_1>\lambda_2$
In general $X$-rays have larger wavelength than that of gamma rays.
