X-rays and gamma rays.

X-rays & Gamma Ray.

Cause: - energy of a radiation is given by the relation,
E=hν,
where E = the energy associated with it.
h= Planck's const.
v=frequency of the radiation.
or, E α v (becuse h is a const.) which shows that the greater the frequency the greater is the energy.
frequency of UV ray = 8*10^14 - 5*10^17 Hz
frequency of X ray = 1*10^16 - 3*10^19 Hz
frequency of Gamma ray = 3*10^19 - 5*10^22 Hz
so when arranged according to increasing order of energy content, the correct arrangement will be: -
Gamma rays > X rays > UV rays

The energy of rays is directly related to frequency, more the frequency, more is the energy in the rays. The gamma and X rays have frequency more than that of ultraviolet rays. i.e. ultraviolet rays have frequency somewhat 10 at the index of 14, while X rays have 10 at the index of 16 and gamma 10 at the index of

I could be wrong but I believe x-rays, then gamma rays are the next "greater" than ultraviolet.

Energy of rays are directly related to frequency of the wave. Any wave with a higher freq then ultraviolet has a higher energy.

Rays having frequency greater than the given ultra violet ray possess greater energy.

Can you tell the highest frequency of ultra-violet ray?

ENERGY OF A RAY=planks constant x speed of light / wavelength.
therefore all the rays which have shorter wavelength than uv have more energy than it.
