MCQ
In $X-$ ray tube when the accelerating voltage $V$ is halved, the difference between the wavelength of $K_{\alpha}$ line and minimum wavelength of continuous $X-$ ray spectrum
  • A
    Remains constant
  • B
    Becomes more than two times
  • C
    Becomes half
  • Becomes less than two times

Answer

Correct option: D.
Becomes less than two times
d
(d) $\Delta \lambda = {\lambda _{{K_\alpha }}} - {\lambda _{\min }}$ When $V$ is halved ${\lambda _{\min }}$ becomes two times but ${\lambda _{{K_\alpha }}}$remains the same.

 $\Delta \lambda ' = {\lambda _{{K_\alpha }}} - 2{\lambda _{\min }}$$ = 2(\Delta \lambda ) - {\lambda _{{K_a}}}$
 

$\Delta \lambda \,' < 2\,(\Delta \lambda )$
