The wavelength of an X-ray beam is 10 . The mass of a fictitious particle having the same energy as that of the X-ray photons is kg. The value of x is . (h = Planck's constant)
Numerical answer
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: 10
- Energy of one X-ray photon
Given wavelength:
Energy of a photon is:
So,
- Energy equivalent mass of fictitious particle
If a particle has the same energy, then using Einstein's relation:
Hence,
Substitute and :
- Compare with given form
Given mass is:
So,
Therefore,
