Dual Nature Of Light Question 480
Question: The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is increased. As a result, in the emitted radiation [IIT 1988; ISM Dhanbad 1994; AIIMS 1997; MP PMT 1995, 2004]
Options:
A) The intensity increases
B) The minimum wavelength increases
C) The intensity decreases
D) The minimum wavelength decreases
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ {\lambda_{\min }}=\frac{hc}{eV} $ or $ {\lambda_{\min }},\propto \frac{1}{V} $ On increasing potential, $ {\lambda_{\min }} $ decreases.
