If a source of power 4 kW produces photons/second, the radiation belong to a part of the spectrum called
- (A)X-rays✓ Correct
- (B)ultraviolet rays
- (C)microwaves
- (D)-rays
Answer: (A)
Solution
The radiated power is shared among the photons sent out each second, so one photon carries J. Its frequency follows from : Hz, a wavelength of about nm. Radiation of this very short wavelength and high frequency lies in the X-ray part of the spectrum.
