An X-ray tube operated at `40 k V` emits a continous X-ray spectrum with a short wavelength limit `lambda_(min) = 0.310 Å`. Calculate Plank's constant.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate Planck's constant using the given information about the X-ray tube, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Operating Voltage (V) = 40 kV = \(40 \times 10^3\) V - Minimum Wavelength (\(\lambda_{min}\)) = 0.310 Å = \(0.310 \times 10^{-10}\) m - Charge of an Electron (e) = \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) C ...
