In the diagram a graph between the intensity of `X`-rays emitted by a molybdenum target and the wavelength is shown , when electrons of `30 keV` are incident on the target. In the graph one peak is of `K_(alpha)` line and the other peak is of `K_(beta)` line

A

First peak is of `K_(alpha)` line at `0.6 Å`

B

Highest peak is of `K_(alpha)` line at `0.7 Å`

C

If the energy of incident particles is increased, then the peaks will shift towards left

D

If the energy of incident particles is increased, then the peaks will shift towards right

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Peak of `K_(alpha)` is greater than peak of `K_(beta)` line.
