1.

Energy of one photon of radiant energy is 15 keV. Then this radiation belongs to ……. Parts of electromagnetic waves.

Answer»

ULTRAVIOLET
gamma waves
X - rays
infrared

SOLUTION :Energy of one PHOTON of given radiation is
`E = (hc)/(lambda)`
`therefore lambda = (hc)/(E )`
`= (6.625xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/((15xx10^(3))(1.6xx10^(-19)))`
`=0.8281xx10^(-10)m=0.8281 Å`
`rArr` Above wavelength corresponds to X - rays in the electromagnetic SPECTRUM.
