Chapter 1, Problem 1B.5E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wavelength of the $\gamma$ - rays having an energy of $140.511keV$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Energy of a photon can be expressed mathematically as given below.

  $E=h\nu =\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

Where, h is the Planck’s constant, $\nu$ is the frequency of radiation, $c$ is the speed of light and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the radiation.
