    Which of the following wavelength is not possible for an X-ray tube which is operated at 40 kV.

    A)  \[0.25\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]                                            

    B)  \[0.5\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C)  \[0.52\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]            

    D)                         \[1\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Minimum wavelength of X-rays     \[{{\lambda }_{\min }}\frac{12375}{V}\] \[=\frac{12375}{40000}=0.32\overset{\text{ }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] Therefore, the wavelength \[0.25\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] is not possible because it is less than \[0.32\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]:
