Statement-1 If the accelerating potential in an X-ray tube is increased, the wavelength of the characterstic X-rays do not change. because Statement-2 When an electron beam strikes the target in an X-ray tube, part of the kinetic energy is converted into X-ray energy.

Statement I: In an X-ray tube , if the energy with which an electron strickes the metal target increases , then the wavelength of the characteristic X-rays also changes. Statement II : Wavelength of the characteristic X-rays depends only on the initial and final energy levels.

If lambda_(1) and lambda_(2) are the wavelength of characteristic X - rays and gamma rays respectively , then the relation between them is

When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. (hv-phi) is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron (where phi is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tuve. Wavelength of charasteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number. Q. If potential difference across the tube is increased then

The wavelength of X-rays is in the range

For characteristic X - ray of some material

Assertion Energy of characteristic X-rays in more than the energy of continuous X-rays Reason Charactersitic X-rays are produced due to transition of electrons from higher energy states to lower energy states.
