In an -ray tube, electrons emitted from a filament (cathode) carrying current hit a target (anode) at a distance from the cathode. The target is kept at a potential higher than the cathode resulting in emission of continuous and characteristic X-rays. If the filament current is decreased to the potential difference is increased to and the separation distance is reduced to then
- A the cut-off wavelength will reduce to half, and the wavelengths of the characteristic X-rays will remain the same
- B the cut-off wavelength as well as the wavelengths of the characteristic X-rays will remain the same
- C the cut-off wavelength will reduce to half, and the intensities of all the X-rays will decrease
- D the cut-off wavelength will become two times larger, and the intensity of all the X-rays will decrease

- Two large, identical water tanks, 1 and 2, kept on the top of a building of height \(H\), are filled with water up to height \(h\) in each tank. Both the tanks contain an identical hole of small radius on their sides, close to their bottom. A pipe of the same internal radius as that of the hole is connected to tank 2 , and the pipe ends at the ground level. When the water flows from the tanks 1 and 2 through the holes, the times taken to empty the tanks are \(t_1\) and \(t_2\), respectively. If \(H=\left(\frac{16}{9}\right) h\), then the ratio \(t_1 / t_2\) is _______ .JEE Advanced 2024 Medium
