The minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by an electron accelerated through a potential difference of V volts is proportional to:
The minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by an electron accelerated through a potential difference of V volts is proportional to:
Updated On: Mar 26, 2025
- \(V^2\)
- \({\sqrt{V}}\)
- \(\frac{1}{V}\)
- \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{V}}\)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (C): \(\frac{1}{V}\)
By the law of photo electric effect,
\(\frac{hc}{\lambda}=eV\,or\,\lambda=\frac{hc}{eV}\propto \frac{1}{V}\)
By the law of photo electric effect,
\(\frac{hc}{\lambda}=eV\,or\,\lambda=\frac{hc}{eV}\propto \frac{1}{V}\)
