The energy of a photon of light with wavelength $5000 \, \mathring{A}$ is approximately $2.5 \, eV$. In this way,the energy of an $X$-ray photon with wavelength $1 \, \mathring{A}$ would be:

  • A
    $2.5 / 5000 \, eV$
  • B
    $2.5 / (5000)^2 \, eV$
  • C
    $2.5 \times 5000 \, eV$
  • D
    $2.5 \times (5000)^2 \, eV$

$\Delta \lambda$ 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:

Frequency of the $K_{\alpha}$ $X$-ray for the element calcium $(Ca, Z = 20)$ is $8.95 \times 10^{17} \ Hz$. The frequency of the $K_{\alpha}$ $X$-ray for the element cadmium $(Cd, Z = 48)$ will be:

Two elements $A$ and $B$ with atomic numbers $Z_{A}$ and $Z_{B}$ are used to produce characteristic $X$-rays with frequencies $v_{A}$ and $v_{B}$ respectively. If $Z_{A}: Z_{B} = 1: 2$, then $v_{A}: v_{B}$ will be
