The electron beam in a colour TV is accelerated through 32 kV and then strikes the screen. What is the wavelength of the most energetic X-ray photon?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `V=32KV=32xx10^3V `
When accelerated through `32KV `
` E=32xx10^3eV `
` lambda=(hc)/E=1242/(32xx10^3) `
` =38.8xx10^-3nm `
` =38.8p m`

Crystal diffraction experiments can be performed using X-rays, or electrons accelerated through appropriate voltage. Which probe has greater energy? (For quantitative comparison, take the wavelength of the probe equal to 1 Å , which is of the order of inter-atomic spacing in the lattice) (m_(e) =9.11 × 10^(-31) kg).

In an accelerator experiment on high-energy collisions of electrons with positrons, a certain event is interpreted as annihilation of an electron-positron pair of total energy 10.2 Bev into two gamma- rays of equal energy. What is the wavelength associated with each gamma- ray? ("1Bev = "10^(9) eV)

A magnetic field set up using Helmholtz coils (described in Exercise 4.16) is uniform in a small region and has a magnitude of 0.75 T. In the same region, a uniform electrostatic field is maintained in a direction normal to the common axis of the coils. A narrow beam of (single species) charged particles all accelerated through 15 kV enters this region in a direction perpendicular to both the axis of the coils and the electrostatic field. If the beam remains undeflected when the electrostatic field is 9.0xx10^(-5)Vm^(-1) , make a simple guess as to what the beam contains. Why is the answer not unique ?

In a TV tube the electron are accelerated by a potential difference of 10 kV. Then, their deBroglie wavelength is nearly-

Statement-1 If the accelerating potential in an X-ray tube is increased, the wavelength of the characterstic X-rays do not change. because Statement-2 When an electron beam strikes the target in an X-ray tube, part of the kinetic energy is converted into X-ray energy.

The wavelength of a probe is roughly a measure of the size of a structure that it can probe in some detail. The quark structure of protons and neutrons appears at the minute length-scale of 10^(-15)m or less. This structure was first probed in early 1970’s using high energy electron beams produced by a linear accelerator at Stanford, USA. Guess what might have been the order of energy of these electron beams. (Rest mass energy of electron = 0.511 MeV.)

An X-ray tube, operated at a potential difference of 40 kV, produce heat at the rate of 720 W.Assuming 0.5% of the energy of incident electrons is converted into X-rays , calculate (i)The number of electron per second striking the target (ii)The velocity of the incident electrons .
