The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is increased. As a result, in the emitted radiation,

A

The intensity increases

B

The minimum wavelength increases

C

The intensity decreases

D

The minimum wavelength decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`lambda_(min) = (hc)/( eV) or lambda_(min) prop (1)/(V)` On increasing potential ,
`lambda_(min)` decreases.
