Question
Write a short note on Gamma rays.
✓
Answer
$\rightarrow$ Frequency of the Gamma rays is the highest in the electro magnetic spectrum.
$\rightarrow$ Wave length range from $10^{-10} m$ to less than $10^{-14} m.$
$\rightarrow$ This high frequency radiation is produced in nuclear reactions and also emitted by radio active nuclei.
$\rightarrow$ They are used in medicine to destroy cancer cells.

Two electric trains run at the same speed of $72\ km/h$ along the same track and in the same direction with a separation of $2.4\ km$ between them. The two trains simultaneously sound brief whistles. A person is situated at a perpendicular distance of $500m$ from the track and is equidistant from the two trains at the instant of the whistling. If both the whistles were at $500Hz$ and the speed of sound in air is $340m/s,$ find the frequencies heard by the person.
