If λ1\lambda_{1} and λ2\lambda_{2} are the wavelengths of characteristic X-rays and gamma rays respectively, then the relation between them is.

A

λ1=1λ2\lambda_{1} = \frac{1}{\lambda_{2}}

B

λ1=λ2\lambda_{1} = \lambda_{2}

C

λ1>λ2\lambda_{1} > \lambda_{2}

D

λ1<λ2\lambda_{1} < \lambda_{2}

Answer

λ1>λ2\lambda_{1} > \lambda_{2}

Explanation

Solution

In general X-rays have larger wavelength than that of gamma rays.
