If the potential difference applied across an $X$-ray tube is $V$ volts,then the approximate minimum wavelength of the emitted $X$-rays will be:

  • A
    $\frac{1227}{\sqrt{V}} \; \mathring{A}$
  • B
    $\frac{1240}{V} \; \mathring{A}$
  • C
    $\frac{2400}{V} \; \mathring{A}$
  • D
    $\frac{12400}{V} \; \mathring{A}$

What is the difference between soft and hard $X-$rays?

$A$ potential difference of $42,000 \ V$ is used in an $X-ray$ tube to accelerate electrons. The maximum frequency of the $X-radiations$ produced is ($1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J$ and $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$).

When $X$-rays pass through a high-intensity uniform magnetic field,they:

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 $0.25 \, \mathring{A}$.
