Question

Which of the following types of radiation has the highest energy? A) a-particles B) β-particles C) y-rays D) visible light E) All of these have the same energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) $\gamma$ rays

Explanation:

The energy of the radiation is dependent on the frequency of the radiation

As the energy of the radiation is given by $E=h\nu$ here h is plank's constant and $\nu$ is the frequency of the radiation.

From the relation we can see that if the frequency of the radiation will be more then energy will be more

As the frequency of the $\gamma$ rays is highest so the energy of the

$\gamma$ rays will be highest
