Gamma Rays

Why do differ...

Question

Why do different rays in electromagnetic spectrum differ in heating abilities ?

Open in App

Solution

remember plank's relationship, E=hν. Also, c=νλ, or, E=hc/λ

Energy is imparted as heat when hit to a surface
enegy depend on frequency and wavelength
Different rays have different frequency and wavelength so the energy also varies

Q. The terminology of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum is given in the text. Use the formula

E = h ν
