The shortest wavelength of X-rays, emiited from a X-ray tube, depend upon

A

current in the tube

B

voltage applied to the tube

C

nature of glass material in the tube

D

atomic number of the target material

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`lambda_(min) = (12375)/(V("volt")) Å, i.e., lambda_(min) infty (1)/(V)`
