Dual Nature Of Light Question 491

Question: For the production of X-rays of wavelength 0.1 Å the minimum potential difference will be [MP PMT 1994; RPMT 1995]

Options:

A) 12.4 kV

B) 24.8 kV

C) 124 kV

D) 248 kV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ {\lambda_{\min }}=\frac{hc}{eV}=\frac{12375}{V}{\AA}; $
$ \therefore ,V=\frac{12375}{\lambda in{\AA}}=124kV $
