Dual Nature Of Light Question 522

Question: The potential difference between the cathode and the target in a Collidge tube is 100 kV. The minimum wavelength of the X-rays emitted by the tube is [Pb. PMT 2004]

Options:

A) 0.66 Å

B) 9.38 Å

C) 0.246 Å

D) 0.123 Å

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ {\lambda_{\min }}=\frac{hc}{eV}=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 100\times 10^{3}} $ $ =0.123{\AA} $
