Mark out the correct statement regarding X-rays.

When fast moving electrons strike the metal target, they enter the metal target and in a very short time, they come to rest, and thus an accelerated charged electron produces electromagnetic waves (X-rays).

Characteristic X-rays are produced due to transition of an electron from higher energy levels to vacant lower energy levels.

X-rays spectrum is a discrete spectra just like hydrogen spectra.

Both (a) and (b) are correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Option (a) explains the production of X-rays on the basis of electomagnetic theory of light, which is not able to explain the characteristic X-rays and cut-off wavelength, so option (a) is wrong.
Option (b) correctly explains the production of characteristic X-rays.
Option (c) is wrong as X-ray spectra is a continusous spectra having some peaks representing characteristic X-rays.

Mark out the incrorect statement

PS II is found ini both grana and stoma lamellae

PS II is involved in photolysis of water

PS II participates in both cyclic as well as non-cyclc flow of electrons

The raction centre in PS II is ` P_(680)`

Mark out the correct statement(s) :

Atomic radii is a periodic property

On moving down the group, metallic character decreases and thus ionisation energy increases.

On moving across the period, effective nuclear charge increases and thus ionisation energy increases.

Atomic volume of alkali metals are highest in the respective periods.

Mark out the correct statement(s) regarding waves.

standing waves appear to be stationary but transfer of energy from one particle to another continues to take place.

A standing wave not only appears to be stationary but net transfer of energy from one particle to the other is also equal to zero.

A standing wave does not appear to be stationary and net transfer of energy from one particle to the other is also non - zero.

A standing wave does not appear to be stationary , but net transfer of energy from one particle to the other is zero.
