MCQ
The wavelength of $X-$ rays decreases, when
  • A
    Temperature of target is increased
  • B
    Intensity of electron beam is increased
  • $K.E.$ of electrons striking the target is increased
  • D
    $K.E.$ of electrons striking the target is decreased

Answer

Correct option: C.
$K.E.$ of electrons striking the target is increased
c
(c) ${\lambda _{\min }} = \frac{{hc}}{{eV{\rm{(energy)}}}};$

when $KE$ (or $eV)$ increases, $\lambda $ decreases.
