Dual Nature Of Light Question 25

Question: Assertion : Intensity of X-rays can be controlled by adjusting the filament current and voltage. Reason : The intensity of X-rays does not depend on number of X-ray photons emitted per second from the target.

Options:

A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

D) If the assertion and reason both are false.

E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Intensity of X-rays (I) is proportional to the filament current and also to the square of the voltage. It is well known that intensity of X-rays depends on the number of photons emitted per second from target.
