JEE Main & Advanced Sample Paper JEE Main - Mock Test - 40

  • question_answer
    A potential difference of \[{{10}^{3}}V\] is applied across an X-ray tube. The ratio of the de- Broglie wavelength of the incident electrons to the shortest wavelength of X-rays produced is -

    A) 1/20                 

    B)        1/100

    C) 1          

    D)        None of these (\[e/m=1.8\times {{10}^{14}}C/kg\] for an electron)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      [c] For incident electron \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2km}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mVe}}\] and shortest wavelength of X-rays is \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=\frac{hc}{Ve}\] \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{1}{c}\sqrt{\left( \frac{V}{2} \right)\left( \frac{e}{m} \right)}\] Substituting the value we get \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=1\]
