The X-ray beam corning from an X-ray tube will be

The continuous X-rays spectrum produced by an X-ray machine at constant voltage has

In X-ray spectrum wavelength λ of line K_α depends onatomic number Z as

If λ₁ and λ₂ are the wavelengths of characteristic X-rays and gamma rays respectively, then the relation between them is

The wavelength λ of the K_α line of characteristic X-ray spectra varies with atomic number approximately

An X-ray tube with a copper target emits K_α line of wavelength 1.50 A. What should be the minimum voltage through which electrons are to be accelerated to produce this wavelength of X-rays?
(h = 6.63 × 10^–34 J-s, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s)

If V be the accelerating voltage, then the maximum frequency of continuous X-rays is given by

The minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by electrons accelerated by a potential difference of volts is equal to

The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is increased. As result, in the emitted radiation

A potential difference of 42,000 volts is used in an X-ray tube to accelerate electrons. The maximum frequency of the X-radiations produced is
(leV = 1.6 × 10^–19 J and h = 6.63 × 10^–34 J-s)
