Solution

The correct option is B Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement -2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
The wavelength of characteristic x-ray depend on the atomic number of the target element and is independent of accelerating voltage in the x-ray tube. When an electron beam strikes the x-ray tube, a part of kinetic energy is converted into x-ray energy. Both statements are true, but statement 2 is NOT an explanation for statement 1.
