Penetrating power of X- rays can be increased by - Vidyadip

MCQ

Penetrating power of $X-$ rays can be increased by

✓
Increasing the potential difference between anode and cathode
B
Decreasing the potential difference between anode and cathode
C
Increasing the cathode filament current
D
Decreasing the cathode filament current

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

Increasing the potential difference between anode and cathode

a
(a)With the increase in potential difference between anode and cathode energy of striking electrons increases which in turn increases the energy (penetration power) of $X-$ rays.
