The energy of a gamma $(\gamma)$ ray photon is $E_{\gamma}$, and that of an $X$-ray photon is $E_{X}$. If the visible light photon has an energy of $E_{v}$, then we can say that:

  • A
    $E_{X} > E_{\gamma} > E_{v}$
  • B
    $E_{\gamma} > E_{v} > E_{X}$
  • C
    $E_{\gamma} > E_{X} > E_{v}$
  • D
    $E_{X} > E_{v} > E_{\gamma}$
