Penetrating power of `X` - rays does not depend on

A

Wavelength

B

Energy

C

Potential difference

D

Current in the filament

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When current through the filament increases , number of emitted electrons also increases . Hence intensity of `X` - ray increases but no effect on penetration power.
