Vedclass · Answer

(A) The continuous $X-$ray spectrum is produced due to the deceleration of electrons hitting the target. The maximum energy of a photon emitted is equal to the kinetic energy of the incident electron,given by $E = eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{\min}}$.Therefore,the minimum wavelength is given by $\lambda_{\min} = \frac{hc}{eV}$.Since $E = eV$ is the energy of the electrons hitting the target,$\lambda_{\min}$ is inversely proportional to the energy of the electrons.

For continuous $X-$rays,the minimum wavelength produced is:
