    In an X-ray tube, electrons bombarded the target produce X-rays of minimum wavelength 1Å. The energy of bombarding electron will be

    A)  100 eV                                

    B)  14375 eV

    C)  12000 eV                            

    D)  12375 eV

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The energy of bombarding electron is \[E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\]where h is Plancks constant, c the speed of light, \[\lambda \] the wavelength.  Given,   \[h=6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}J-s\],                 \[c=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\],                 \[\lambda ={{10}^{-10}}m\],                 \[1\,\,eV=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[\therefore \]  \[E=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{{{10}^{-10}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               E = 12375 eV
