A.
B.
λ1 = λ2
C.
λ1 = 2λ2
AnswerD.
λ1 = 4λ2
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
We are given two radiations with energies E1 = 25 eV and E2 = 50 eV, and we need to determine how their wavelengths λ1 and λ2 are related.The energy of radiation is inversely proportional to its wavelength, as described by the equation:
E = h * c / λ
Where:
E is the energy of the radiation,
h is Planck's constant,
c is the speed of light, and
λ is the wavelength.
Since energy and wavelength are inversely proportional, we can express the ratio of the wavelengths in terms of the energies:
λ1 / λ2 = E2 / E1
Substituting the values for the energies:
λ1 / λ2 = 50 / 25 = 2
This means that the wavelength λ1 is twice the wavelength λ2. Hence, λ1 = 2λ2.
Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
