To solve the question regarding the Coolidge tube experiment and the effect of changing the target material, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Coolidge Tube Experiment The Coolidge tube is an X-ray tube that produces X-rays by bombarding a target material with electrons. When electrons collide with the target, most of their energy is converted into heat (about 99%), and a small portion (about 1%) is converted into X-rays. ### Step 2: Identify Key Relationships In the experiment, the minimum wavelength (λ_min) of the emitted X-rays is related to the energy of the electrons striking the target. This relationship can be expressed as: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{\text{min}}} \] ...
