    A beam of 35.0 keV electrons strikes a molybdenum target, generating the X-rays. What is the cutoff wavelength?

    A)  35.5 pm      

    B)                        40.0 pm              

    C)        15.95pm             

    D)        18.2pm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The cut-off wavelength \[\frac{1}{4\lambda }\] corresponds to an electron transferring (approximately) all of its energy to an X-ray photon, thus producing a photon with the greatest possible frequency and least possible wavelength. From relation \[4\lambda \] \[2\lambda \]
