Practicing Success
An electromagnetic radiation has an energy of 13.2 keV. Then the radiation belongs to the region of |
Visible light Ultraviolet Infrared X-ray |
X-ray |
Energy of a photon $E = \frac{hc}{λ}$ $∴ \, wavelength \, λ=\frac{hc}{E}$ $=\frac{6.6×10^{-34}×3×10^8}{13.2×10^3×1.6×10^{-19}}$ $= 0.9375 × 10^{-10} \, m$ $ = 1 \, Å$ Wavelength range of X-rays is from 10-11 m to 10-8 m (0.1 Å to 100 Å). Therefore, the given electromagnetic radiation belongs to the X-ray region of electromagnetic spectrum. |
