vWould radiation with a wavelength 0.91 nm or a frequency of 5.91011 s-1 be detected by an X-ray detector? Would radiation with a wavelength 0.91 or a frequency of 5.91011 be detected by an X-ray detector? Only the radiation with a wavelength 0.91 nm can be observed by an X-ray detector. Only the radiation with a frequency of 5.9*1011 s-1 can be observed by an X-ray detector. Both types of radiation can be observed by an X-ray detector. Neither type of radiation can be observed by an X-ray detector.

Only the radiation with a wavelength 0.91 nm can be observed by an X-ray detector.

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to consult the ranges in which x rays are in the electromagnetic spectrum:

The X radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum fall in the region of:

frequency: 3 x 10¹⁶ Hz to 3 x 10¹⁹ Hz (1Hz = 1s⁻¹)

wavelengt: 1 pm to 10 nm

Comparing the values in our question,

0.91 nm will be detected

5.9 x 10¹¹ Hz will not be detected.
