Question

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. $\lambda_{1}=\lambda_{2}$
• C. $\lambda_{1} > \lambda_{2}$
• D. $\lambda_{1} < \lambda_{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

In general $X$ -rays have larger wavelength than that of gamma rays.
