Statement-2: When a beam of highly energ...

Statement-2: When a beam of highly energetic neutrons is incident on a tungsten target, no `X` -rays will be produced.
Statement-2: Neutrons do not exert any electrostatics force on electrons or nucleus of an atom

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Neutrons will knock out electrons in target leading to production opf characteristic `X`-ray. Hence statement-1 is false
