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

A copper sphere is suspended in an evacuated chamber maintained at 300K. The sphere is maintained at a constant temperature of 500K by heating it electrically. A total of 210W of electric power is needed to do it. When the surface of the copper sphere is completely blackened, 700W is needed to maintain the same temperature of the sphere. Calculate the emissivity of copper.
