If the energies of two light radiations E 1 and E 2 are 25 eV and 100 eV respectively, then their respective wavelengths λ 1 and λ 2 would be in the ratio λ 1 : λ 2 =
Options
- A2 : 1
- B4 : 1
- C1 : 4
- D1 : 2
Correct answer
B. 4 : 1
Step-by-step solution
According to Plank's quantum theory, energy of the incident wave can be expressed as: E   =   hc λ Energies of different radiation are given i.e. E 1 = 25 eV ,           E 2 = 100   eV Now, E 1   =   hc λ 1               ⇒       λ 1 = hc E 1 E 2   =   hc λ 2             ⇒       λ 2 = hc E 2 So the ratio of wavelength at di
