A radioactive source emits X–rays of very short wavelength (10 -13m ) what is the frequently of these rays?
A
2 × 1018HZ
B
3 × 10 19HZ
C
3 × 1021HZ
D
3 × 10-19HZ
correct option: c
Wavelength (Λ) = 10 -13m

Speed of X-ray = speed of light C = 3×103m/s

Frequently (f) = ?

Using V = fΛ (or (– f π for electromagnetic wave)

f = c/Λ = 3 × 108 ÷ 10-13 = 3 × 103 × 103

= 3 × 1013 × 1013

= 3 × 1021HZ
