X-ray are produced in an X-ray tube operating at a given accelerating voltage. The wavelength of the continuous X-ray has values from. (a) `0 to oo`
(b) `lambda_(min) to oo, where lambda_(min) gt 0`
(c ) 0 to `lambda_(max), where lambda_(max) ltoo`
(d) `lambda_(min) ot lambda_(max)`, where `0ltlambda(min) lt lambda_(max) lt oo`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The continuous X-ray spectrum is shown in figure.
All wavelengths `gtlambda_(min) are found, where
`lambda_(min) = (12375)/(V (in volt)`
Here, V is the applied voltage.
