? decay -

\gamma ray emitted when nucleus undergoes radio active decay left it in excited state 

- wherein

After emission of \alpha ,\beta  particle the product nucleus formed in excited state

 

 Energy of gamma ray is greater Than that of X rays since \gamma \rightarrow nuclear decay X ray\rightarrow Atom ic Transition

\therefore \lambda _{1}>\lambda _{2}

Option is incorrect

Option 2)

λ1 = λ2

 

Option is incorrect

Option 3)
