Dual Nature Of Light Question 525

Question: If the minimum wavelength obtained in an X-ray tube is $ 2.5\times {{10}^{-10}}m $ , the operating potential of the tube will be [RPMT 2003]

Options:

A) 2 kV

B) 3 kV

C) 4 kV

D) 5 kV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ {\lambda_{\min }}=\frac{12375}{V}{\AA} $
$ \Rightarrow V=\frac{12375}{2.5} $ = 4950 V ≃ 5 kV.
