  • question_answer
    If\[{{v}_{g,}}\] \[{{v}_{x,}}\] and \[{{v}_{m,}}\] are the speeds of gamma rays, X-rays and microwaves respectively in vacuum then

    A)  \[{{v}_{g,}}>{{v}_{m}}>{{v}_{x}}\]          

    B)  \[{{v}_{g}}>{{v}_{x}}>{{v}_{m}}\]

    C)  \[{{v}_{g}}={{v}_{x}}={{v}_{m}}\]            

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Electromagnetic radiation is a propagating wave in space with electric and magnetic components. Gamma rays, \[X-\]rays and microwaves respectively are electromagnetic waves. They travel with the speed of light. Hence,\[{{v}_{g}}-{{v}_{x}}={{v}_{m}}\]
