The nature of X-rays spectrum is

The continuous X - ray spectrum is produced due to :

When a beam of accelerated electrons hits a target , a continuous X - ray spectrum is emitted from the target. Which of the following wavelength is absent in X - ray spectrum , if the X - ray tube is operating at 40,000 "volts" ?

The voltage applied to the Coolidge X-ray tube is increased by 25%. As a result the short wave limit of continuous X-ray spectrum shifts by Delta lambda . The initial voltage applied to the tube is

Consider the following two statements A and B and identify the correct choice in the given answer A : The characteristic X-ray spectrum depends on the nature of the material of the target B : The short wavelength limit of continuous X-ray spectrum varies inversely with the potential difference applied to the X-rays tube

An X-ray tube has nickel as target. The wavelength difference between the ka X-ray and the cut-off wavelength of continuous X-ray spectrum is 84 pm. Find the accelerating voltage applied in the X-ray tube. [Take hc = 12400 eV Å ]
