उत्तर
(c) the frequency is higher
(d) the photon energy is higher
Harder X-rays are the X-rays having low wavelengths. Since the frequency varies inversely with the wavelength, hard X-rays have high frequency.
Energy of a photon (E) is given by
`E = (hc)/lambda`
Here,
h = Planck's constant
c = Speed of light
λ = Wavelength of light.
Clearly, energy varies inversely with wavelength. Therefore, the energy of the photon will be higher for the hard X-ray.
