The wavelength of `X` - rays decreases , when

A

Temperature of target is increased

B

Intensity of electron beam is increased

C

`K.E`. Of electrons striking the target is increased

D

`K.E`. Of electrons striking the target is decreased

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`lambda_(min) = (hc)/( eV ("energy"))` , when `KE ( or eV)` increases , `lambda` decreases.
