Dual Nature Of Light Question 371

Question: The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons hitting a target so as to produce X-ray of wavelength 1 A is

Options:

A) 1.24keV

B) 12.4keV

C) 124keV

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ {\lambda_{\min }}=1\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $ (given)
$ \therefore {\lambda_{\min }}=\frac{1240}{E}(eV)(nm) $ $ \text{Thus, }E=\frac{1240(eV)(nm)}{0.01(nm)}=12400eV $ $ E=12.4KeV $
