Question

Consider the following two statements A and B and identify the correct choice in the given answer.
A: The characteristic x-ray spectrum depends on the nature of the material of the target.
B: The short wavelength limit of continuous x-ray spectrum varies inversely as the potential difference applied to the x-ray tube.

• A. A is true and B is false
• B. A is false and B is true
• C. Both A and B are true
• D. Both A and B are false

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both A and B are true

$continuousX-Rays;$
$\lambda =\frac{hc}{eV}$
$characteristicsX-rays;$
$\lambda =\frac{hc}{E_K-E_L}$
So it depends on nature of material of target.
