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.

The $\beta$-decay process, discovered around $1900$ , is basically the decay of a neutron ( $n$ ), In the laboratory, a proton ( $p$ ) and an electron ( $e ^{-}$) are observed as the decay products of the neutron. therefore, considering the decay of a neutron as a tro-body dcay process, it was predicted theoretically that thekinetic energy of the electron should be a constant. But experimentally, it was observed that the electron kinetic energy has a continuous spectrum. Considering a three-body decay process, i.e. $n \rightarrow p+ e ^{-}+\bar{v}_{ e }$, around $1930,$ Pauli explained the observed electron energy spectrum. Assuming the anti-neutrino $\left(\bar{v}_{ e }\right)$ to be massless and possessing negligible energy, and neutron to be at rest, momentum and energy conservation principles are applied. From this calculation, the maximum kinetic energy of the lectron is $0.8 \times 10^6 eV$. The kinetic energy carried by the proton is only the recoil energy.

$(A)$ Zero
