Chapter 6, Problem 63GQ
Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope used in medicine for the treatment of certain cancers. It produces β particles and γ rays, the latter having energies of 1.173 and 1.332 MeV. (1 MeV = 106 electron-volts and 1 eV = 1.6022 × 10−19 J.) What are the wave-length and frequency of a γ-ray photon with an energy of 1.173 MeV?
