Which of the following statements is NOT true about X-rays?

  1. A Wavelength Range: 100 \( \text{\AA} \) - 0.1 \( \text{\AA} \)
  2. B Frequency Range: \( 10^{11} \, \text{Hz} - 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \)
  3. C Source: Sudden deceleration of fast-moving electrons by a metal target
  4. D More energetic than UV rays
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Frequency Range: \( 10^{11} \, \text{Hz} - 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( f = c/\lambda \) \( f_{X-ray} \approx (3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}) / (10^{-10} \, \text{m}) \approx 3 \times 10^{18} \, \text{Hz} \) Frequency Range: \( 10^{11} \, \text{Hz} - 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \)
