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

  • question_answer
    To decrease the cut-off wavelength of continuous X-rays by 25%, the potential difference across X-ray tube

    A) must be increased by \[\frac{100}{3}%\]

    B) must be decreased by \[\frac{100}{3}%\]

    C) must increased by 25%

    D) must decreased by 25%.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=\frac{hc}{e{{v}_{1}}};{{\lambda }_{2}}=\frac{hc}{e{{v}_{2}}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{\lambda }_{2}}}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}=\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{3}{4}=\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}\Rightarrow \left( \frac{{{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{1}}} \right)\times 100=\frac{100}{3}\] Hence, P.D. must be increased by \[\frac{100}{3}%.\]
