Electrons with de Broglie wavelength a fall on the target in an X-ray tube. Find the cutoff wavelength of the emitted X-rays.

Answer»

Solution :If `lamda`=de Broglie wavelength, then momentum `p=(h)/(lamda)`
K.E of the STRIKING electrons `K=(p^(2))/(2m)=(h^(2))/(2mlamda^(2))`
This is equal to MAXIMUM energy of X - ray
photons. `(hc)/(lamda_(0))=(h^(2))/(2mlamda^(2))implieslamda_(0)=(2mlamda^(2)C)/(h)`
