Chapter 19, Problem 19.96CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiations. Energy of the rays can be written in different units like joules, cm-¹etc.

Concept introduction:

$1eV=1.6022x{10}^{-19} J$

  $E=h\nu =\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

Given:

Energy of $\gamma$ rays =1.50 MeV

To determine:

Wavelength of $\gamma$ rays
