Q. 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.

Q. Electrons with energy 80 keV are incident on the tungsten target of an X-ray tube. K shell electrons of tungsten have ionization energy 72.5 keV. X-rays emitted by the tube contain only

kV potential difference is applied on Coolidge tube, then calculate minimum wavelength of continuous X-ray spectrum.

Q. When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity.

(h ν - ϕ)

is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons (where

ϕ

is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tube. Wavelength of characteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number. If potential difference across the tube is increased then:

Q. When a beam of accelerated electrons hits a target, a continuous x-ray spectrum is emitted from the target. Which of the following wavelength is absent in the x-ray spectrum if the x-ray tube is operating at 40,000 volt?
