Which is the frequency range of gamma rays from the following?(a) 1 × 10^18 to 3 × 10^22 Hz(b) 3 × 10^-18 to 5 × 10^22 Hz(c) 3 × 10^18 to 5 × 10^22 Hz(d) 3 × 10^-18 to 5 × 10^-22 HzI have been asked this question in an international level competition.This intriguing question originated from Electromagnetic Spectrum topic in section Electromagnetic Waves of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (C) 3 × 10^18 to 5 × 10^22 Hz

To EXPLAIN: The FREQUENCY range of Gamma rays is 3 × 10^18 to 5 × 10^22 Hz. These rays have a wavelength of 6 × 10^-13 to 10^-10m. Gamma rays are PRODUCED in nuclear reactions and are also emitted by radioactive nuclei.
