JEE Advanced · Physics · 23. EM Waves

Which one of the following statement is WRONG in the context of X-rays generated from X-ray tube?

  1. A Wavelength of characteristic X-rays decreases when the atomic number of the target increases
  2. B Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the atomic number of the target
  3. C Intensity of the characteristics X-rays depends on the electrical power given to the X-ray tube
  4. D Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the energy of the electrons in the X-ray tube
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the atomic number of the target

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Cut-off wavelength depends on the applied voltage not on the atomic number of the target. Characteristic wavelengths depend on the atomic number of target.
