A TV tube operates with a `20 kV` accelerating potential. What are the maximum-energy X-rays from the TV set?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum energy of X-rays produced by a TV tube operating at an accelerating potential of 20 kV, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Energy of Electrons**: - The electrons in the TV tube are accelerated by a potential difference of 20 kV. This means that the kinetic energy gained by the electrons is equal to the work done on them by the electric field. 2. **Calculating the Kinetic Energy**: ...
