Question 6: Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation

Question

The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is decreased. As a result, in the emitted radiation,

Accepted Answer

Minimum wavelength for X-ray is given by
$${\lambda _{\min }} = {{12375} \over V}\mathop A\limits^o $$
As the accelerating voltage V is decreased, $$\lambda$$
min
increases. The intensity of emitted radiation is determined by the number of electrons bombarding the target.
$$	herefore$$ Accelerating voltage does not change the intensity of X-rays emitted.
