MCQ
The minimum wavelength of the $X$-rays produced at accelerating potential $V$ is $\lambda$. If the accelerating potential is changed to $2 \,V$, then the minimum wavelength would become
  • A
    $4 \lambda$
  • B
    $2 \lambda$
  • $\lambda / 2$
  • D
    $\lambda / 4$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\lambda / 2$
c
(c)

$\lambda_{\min }=\frac{12400}{V}$

If potential is changed to $2 \,V$

$\operatorname{New} \lambda_{\min }=\frac{\lambda}{2}$
