JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  • question_answer
    Electrons with de-Broglie wavelength X fall on the target in an X-ray tube. The cut-off wavelength of the emitted X-rays is

    A) \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{2mc{{\lambda }^{2}}}{h}\]

    B) \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{2h}{mc}\]

    C) \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{2{{m}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}{{\lambda }^{3}}}{h}\]

    D) \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\lambda \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] The cut off wavelength is given by \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{hc}{eV}\]                                           ?.(i) According to de Broglie equation \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{\lambda }^{2}}=\frac{{{h}^{2}}}{2meV}\Rightarrow V=\frac{{{h}^{2}}}{2me{{\lambda }^{2}}}\]            ???(ii) From (i) and (ii), \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{hc\times 2me{{\lambda }^{2}}}{e{{h}^{2}}}=\frac{2mc{{\lambda }^{2}}}{h}\]
