Question 21 MarkThe X-ray coming from a Coolidge tube has a cutoff wavelength of 80pm. Find the kinetic energy of the electrons hitting the target.Answer$\lambda=80\text{pm},$ $\text{E}=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}$ $=\frac{1242}{80\times10^{-3}}$ $=15.525\times10^3\text{eV}=15.5\text{KeV}$View full question & answer→
