An $X$-ray tube operates at $50 \, kV$ and $20 \, mA$. The target material has a mass of $1.0 \, kg$ and a specific heat capacity of $495 \, J \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot ^\circ C^{-1}$. One percent of the applied electrical power is converted into $X$-rays,and the remaining energy is used to heat the target. Then:
$(1)$ $A$ suitable target material should have a high melting point.
$(2)$ $A$ suitable target material should have low thermal conductivity.
$(3)$ The rate of rise of temperature of the target is $2 \, ^\circ C/s$.
$(4)$ The minimum wavelength of the emitted $X$-rays is $0.25 \, \mathring{A}$.

  • A
    $1, 3, 4$
  • B
    $1, 2, 3$
  • C
    $2, 3, 4$
  • D

If the frequency of the $K_\alpha$ line of an element with $Z = 64$ is $\nu_\alpha$ and the frequency of the $K_\alpha$ line of an element with $Z = 80$ is $\nu'_\alpha$,then the ratio of their frequencies is:

For the production of characteristic $K_{\gamma}$ $X$-ray,the electron transition is:

The wavelength of the $K_\alpha$ $X$-ray line for a given element is $0.32 \, \mathring{A}$. The wavelength of the $K_\beta$ line emitted by the same element will be ... $\mathring{A}$.

$\Delta \lambda$ is the difference between the wavelength of the $K_\alpha$ line and the minimum wavelength of the continuous $X$-ray spectrum when the $X$-ray tube is operated at a voltage $V$. If the operating voltage is changed to $V / 3$,then the above difference is $\Delta \lambda^{\prime}$. Then:

Electrons of mass $m$ with de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ fall on a target. The cut-off wavelength $\lambda_0$ is equal to [$h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ velocity of light].
