To solve the problem, we need to find two things: 1. The potential difference (V) that should be applied across an X-ray tube to produce X-rays with a wavelength not less than 0.10 nm. 2. The maximum energy (E_max) of a photon of this X-ray in joules. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between wavelength and potential difference The cut-off wavelength (λ_min) is given by the formula: ...
