उत्तर
Given: λ = 250 m, c = 3 × 108 m/s
To find: Frequency (ν)
Formula: c = νλ
Calculation: From formula,
ν = `"c"/λ=(3xx10^8)/250` = 1.2 × 106 Hz = 1.2 MHz
The frequency of a radio wave is 1.2 MHz.

Suppose a monochromatic X-ray beam of wavelength 100 pm is sent through a Young's double slit and the interference pattern is observed on a photographic plate placed 40 cm away from the slit.

Continuous X-rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming X-rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic X-rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only Kα intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation v − (25 × 1014Hz)(Z − 1)2.
