1.	Statement-1: Gamma rays are more energetic than X-rays. Statement-2: Gamma rays are of nuclear origin but x-rays are produced due to sudden deceleration of high energy electrons while falling on metal of high atomic number.A. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation of Statement-1.B. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is not correct explanation of Statement-1.C. Statement-1 is true, Statement -2 is false.D. Statement-1 is false, Statement -2 is true.
Answer» Correct Answer - b The Statement-1 and Statement-2 are true but the Statement-2 is not correct explanation of Statement-1. In face the energy of gamma ray is more than X-rays because the frequency of gamma ray is higher than that of X-rays as `E=hv`.
