    If 10000 V is applied across an X-ray tube, what will be the ratio of de-Broglie wavelength of incident electrons to the shortest wavelength X-ray produced? \[\left( \frac{e}{m}\text{for}\,\text{electron}\,=1.8\times {{10}^{11}}C\,k{{g}^{-1}} \right)\]

    A)  0.1

    B)  0.2

    C)  0.3

    D)  1.0

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     For incident electron, \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=eV\] or \[{{p}^{2}}=2\,meV\] \[\therefore \]de-Broglie wavelength,\[{{\lambda }_{1}}=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}}\] Shortest X-rays wavelength,\[{{\lambda }_{2}}=\frac{hc}{eV}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{1}{c}\sqrt{\left( \frac{V}{2} \right)\left( \frac{e}{m} \right)}\] \[=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{{{10}^{4}}}{2}}\times 1.8\times {{10}^{11}}}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}=0.1\]
