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.
