Moseley's law relates the frequencies of line $X$-rays with the following characteristics of the target element:

  • A
    Its density
  • B
    Its atomic weight
  • C
    Its atomic number
  • D
    Interplanar spacing of the atomic planes

If the attenuation coefficient of aluminum for soft $X$-rays is $1.73 \, cm^{-1}$,what percentage of $X$-rays will pass through an aluminum sheet of thickness $1.156 \, cm$?

An electron beam in an $X$-ray tube is accelerated through a potential difference of $50000 \ V$. These are then made to fall on a tungsten target. The shortest wavelength of the $X$-ray emitted by the tube is

When $0.50\; \mathring{A}$ $X$-rays strike a material,the photoelectrons from the $K$-shell are observed to move in a circle of radius $23\; mm$ in a magnetic field of $2 \times 10^{-2}\; T$ acting perpendicularly to the direction of emission of photoelectrons. The binding energy of $K$-shell electrons is $..........\; keV$.

$STATEMENT-1$: If the accelerating potential in an $X$-ray tube is increased, the wavelengths of the characteristic $X$-rays do not change. because
$STATEMENT-2$: When an electron beam strikes the target in an $X$-ray tube, part of the kinetic energy is converted into $X$-ray energy.
