The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided: **Assertion (A):** If vacuum is not created inside an X-ray tube, X-rays will not be produced. **Reason (R):** Without vacuum inside the X-ray tube, the electrons are not emitted by the filament. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A):** - An X-ray tube is designed to produce X-rays by converting electrical energy into X-ray radiation. - The tube must be maintained in a vacuum to prevent air molecules from interfering with the electron flow. - If there is no vacuum, the presence of air can lead to scattering and absorption of electrons, thus preventing effective X-ray production. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**: If vacuum is not created inside an X-ray tube, X-rays will not be produced. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R):** - The filament in an X-ray tube emits electrons when heated (a process known as thermionic emission). - While a vacuum is essential for the efficient operation of the X-ray tube, it does not mean that electrons cannot be emitted at all if there is no vacuum. - In the presence of air, electrons can still be emitted, but their path will be disrupted by air molecules, leading to a decrease in efficiency and potential damage to the tube. - Thus, the reason is **false**: Without vacuum inside the X-ray tube, the electrons are still emitted by the filament, but their effectiveness is compromised. 3. **Conclusion:** - Since the assertion (A) is true and the reason (R) is false, we can conclude that the correct option is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **3**: Assertion is true, but Reason is false. ---
