- Two statements are given one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer from the codes (A), (B), (C) and (D) as given below.
Assertion (A): X-rays are produced when slow moving electrons are stopped by a metal target of high atomic number.
Reason (R): X-rays consist of low-energy photons. - A source produces monochromatic light of frequency \( 5.0 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \) and the power emitted is 3.31 mW. The number of photons emitted per second by the source, on an average, is:

Concepts Used:
Radiation
Radiation is the energy or particles from a source that travels from one media to other. It travels through a medium after its emission from a source and is absorbed by matter.
Forms of Radiation:
- Particle Radiation includes the alpha (α), beta (β), and neutron radiations.
- Gravitational Radiation includes the radiation that takes the form of gravitational waves or as ripples in the curvature of space-time.
- Acoustic Radiation includes ultrasound, seismic and sound waves.
- Electromagnetic Radiation is inclusive of radio waves, gamma radiation (γ), x-rays, and visible light.
Types of Radiation:
- Ionizing Radiation - It carries more than 10 eV, that is enough to ionize atoms and molecules and break chemical bonds.
- Non-ionizing Radiation – It consists of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma particles, whereas ionizing radiation consists of microwave radiation, infrared radiation and radio waves.
