The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is increased. As a result, in the emitted radiation,

A

the intensity increases

B

the minimum wavelength increases

C

the intensity remains unchanged

D

the minimum wavelength decreases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
For X-ray tube,
`lambda_(m)(in overset(@)(A))=(12375)/V`
As accelerating voltage is increased, `lambda_(m)` will decrease.
Number of electrons bombarding the target, determine the intensity (or quantity) of emitted radiation. Accelerating voltage does not change the intensity of X-rays emitted.
