Wavelength of gamma ray emission, does the wave suffer diffraction when it pass through the door?
Answer to Problem 12P
Solution:
Wavelength of gamma ray emission is , and the
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Energy of the gamma ray,
Formula used:
Energy is given by the formula
Here,
is Planck’s constant
is the wavelength
is the
Calculation:
The wavelength of the gamma ray radiation is calculated as
Plugging the values in the above equation
The diffraction is a phenomenon in which wave suffers change bending when it passes through narrow slit of order of its wavelength. Since, the opening of door is of very high order than the wavelength of the radiation; therefore, wave will not suffer diffraction.:
