Statement I: In an X-ray tube , if the energy with which an electron strickes the metal target increases , then the wavelength of the characteristic X-rays also changes. Statement II : Wavelength of the characteristic X-rays depends only on the initial and final energy levels.A. Statement I is True , Statement II is True , Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.B. Statement I is True , Statement II is True , Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.C. Statement I is True , Statement II is False.D. Statement I is False , Statement II is True.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
As the energy of striking electron is increased, the wavelength of the characteristic X-ray does not change as characteristic X-ray are emitted when electrons are making transition from a higher energy level to a lower of characteristic X-ray is given by
`E = (hc)/(lambda) = |E_(f)| - |E_(i)| = E_(i) - E_(f)`
which does not depend at all on the energy of the striking electron. The only dependence is that the striking electron from the inner shell.
