Dual Nature Of Light Question 513

Question: In an X-ray tube electrons bombarding the target produce X-rays of minimum wavelength 1 Å. What must be the energy of bombarding electrons [KCET 2001]

Options:

A) 13375 eV

B) 12375 eV

C) 14375 eV

D) 15375 eV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ E(eV)=\frac{hc}{e\lambda }=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 1\times {{10}^{-10}}}=12375,eV $
