What should be the approzimate kinetic energy of an electron so that its de-Broglie wavelength is equal to the wavelength of X-ray of maximum energy, produced in an X-ray tube operating at 24800 V? (given that `h=6.6xx10^(-34)` joule-sec, mass of electron `=9.1xx10^(-31)kg`)

A

`600 eV`

B

`36.5 eV`

C

`6000 eV`

D

`300 eV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The wavelength `lambda_(min)` emitted by the `X-` ray tube operating at a voltage `V` is given by
`eV=(hc)/(lambda_(min))`
Kinetic energy of the electron `=(1)/(2)mv^(2)=(1)/(2)((m^(2)v^(2))/(m))=(h^(2))/(2mlambda_(1)^(2))`
Now the wavelength `lambda` of an electron moving with the velocity `v` is given by
`lambda=h//mvrArrlambda=(h)/(sqrt(2meV))`
`:. K.E.=600eV`
