Dual Nature Of Light Question 373
Question: X-rays are produced in an X-ray tube operating at a given accelerating voltage. The wavelength of the continuous X-rays has values from
Options:
A) $ 0\text{ to }\infty $
B) $ {\lambda_{\min }}\text{ to }\infty \text{ where }{\lambda_{\max }}M\infty $
C) $ 0\text{ to }{\lambda_{\max }}\text{ where }{\lambda_{\max }}<\infty $
D) $ {\lambda_{\min }}\text{ to }{\lambda_{\max }}\text{ where 0}{\lambda_{\min }}<{\lambda_{\max }}<\infty $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] The continuous X-ray spectrum is shown in figure. All wavelengths $ >{\lambda_{\min }} $ are found, $ {\lambda_{\min }}=\frac{12400}{V( \text{in volts} )}\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $ Where (in volts) Here V is the applied voltage. c
