Question

x - rays and gamma rays have what type of frequency and wavelength?
a low frequency & long wavelength
b high frequency & short wavelength
c medium frequency & long wavelength
d high frequency & long wavelength

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In the electromagnetic spectrum, X - rays and Gamma rays are at the high - energy end. The relationship between frequency ($f$), wavelength ($\lambda$), and the speed of light ($c$) is given by $c = f\lambda$. Since $c$ (speed of light in vacuum, a constant) is fixed, when frequency is high, wavelength is short. X - rays and Gamma rays have high frequencies, so their wavelengths are short.

Answer:

B. High frequency & short wavelength
