the relation between energy and wavelength
inversely proportional.
uses of gamma rays
- -> treatment of cancer and tumors
- -> used for the study of the nucleus (high penetrating power)
uses of x rays
- -> detection of fractures
- -> study of atomic crystal
uses of ultraviolet radiation
- -> sterilizing purpose of chemically active AgCl
- -> killing bacteria
which prism is used in ultraviolet radiation
quartz prism
which prism is used for infrared rays
rock salt prism
uses of infrared rays
- -> photography at night and in fogs
- -> used for sending signals in war
properties of infrared rays
- -> scatter least
- -> travels undeviated for long distances
radiations which are detected by the thermopile
infrared rays
