Dual Nature Of Light Question 459

Question: In producing X-rays a beam of electrons accelerated by a potential difference V is made to strike a metal target. For what value of V, X-rays will have the lowest wavelength of 0.3094 Å [CPMT 1982; NCERT 1986, 87]

Options:

A) 10 kV

B) 20 kV

C) 30 kV

D) 40 Kv

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

From the formula $ V=\frac{12375}{{\lambda_{\min }}}=\frac{12375}{0.3094} $ $ =39.99kV,\approx ,40,kV $
