The minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by 20 kV electrons is nearly

  1. A \(0.62 Å\)
  2. B \(1.8 Å\)
  3. C \(3.2 Å\)
  4. D \(6.5 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.62 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{min} = \frac{hc}{eV} = \frac{12400}{V \text{ (in V)}} \text{ Å}\) \(\lambda_{min} = \frac{12400}{20 \times 10^3} = 0.62 \text{ Å}\)
