At a certain voltage applied to an X-rays tuve with aluminium anticathode the short-wave cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays spectum is equal to 0.50nm. Will the K series of the characteristic specturm whose excitation potential is equal to 1.56kV be also observed in this case?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Since the short wavelength cut off of the continuous specturm is
`lambda_(0)=0.50nm`
the voltage applied must be `V=(2 pi ħ )/(2 lambda_(0))=2.48kV`
since this is greater than the EXCITATION potential of the `K` SERIES of the characteristic specturm (which is only `1.56kV`) the latter will be observed.
