In an X-rays tube, electrons striking a target are brought to rest, causing X-rays to be emitted. In a paricular X-ray tube, the maximum frequency of the emitted continuum X-ray spectrum is `f_(o)`. If the votage across the tube is doubled, the maximum frequency is

A

`f_(o)//2`

B

`f_(o)//sqrt(2)`

C

`f_(o)`

D

`2f_(o)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`hf_(max)=eV
f_(max) prop V
(f_(0))/(f)=(V)/(2V)`
