JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank X Rays

  • question_answer
    The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is increased. As a result, in the emitted radiation [IIT 1988; ISM Dhanbad 1994; AIIMS 1997; MP PMT 1995, 2004]

    A)            The intensity increases

    B)            The minimum wavelength increases

    C)            The intensity decreases

    D)            The minimum wavelength decreases

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[{{\lambda }_{\min }}=\frac{hc}{eV}\] or \[{{\lambda }_{\min }}\,\propto \frac{1}{V}\] On increasing potential, \[{{\lambda }_{\min }}\] decreases.
