Consider two radiations of wavelengths
1. \(\lambda_1 = 2000\) Å
2. \(\lambda_2 = 6000\) Å
The ratio of the energies of these two radiations \(\left(\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}\right)\) is ________ (Nearest integer).

  1. A 2
  2. B 3
  3. C 4
  4. D 5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The energy of a photon is given by the relation: \(E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\) For the two radiations, the energies are \(E_1 = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}\) and \(E_2 = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda_2}\). The ratio of their energies is: \(\dfrac{E_1}{E_2} = \dfrac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}\)…
