Find the minimum wavelngth of `X` - ray emitted by `X` - ray tube , which is operating at `15 kV` accelerating voltage.

A

`0.75 Å`

B

`0.82 Å`

C

`1.42 Å`

D

`1.13 Å`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`lambda_(min) = (12400)/(V_((i n v o l t))) = (12400)/( 15 xx 10^(3)) = 0.82 Å`
