प्रश्न
Cutoff wavelength of X-rays coming from a Coolidge tube depends on the
(a) target material
(b) accelerating voltage
(c) separation between the target and the filament
(d) temperature of the filament.
विकल्प
target material
accelerating voltage
separation between the target and the filament
temperature of the filament.
उत्तर
accelerating voltage
Cutoff wavelength (`lambda_min`) is given by `lambda_min = (hc)/(eV)`
Here,
h = Planck's constant
c = Speed of light
V = Accelerating voltage
e = Charge of electron
Clearly, a cutoff wavelength depends on accelerating voltage. It does not depend on the target material, separation between the target and the temperature of the filament.

What is the speed of radio waves in vacuum?
In an atom X, electrons absorb the energy from an external source. This energy “excites” the electrons from a lower-energy level to a higher-energy level around the nucleus of the atom. When electrons return to the ground state, they emit photons.
The figure below is the energy level diagram of atom X with three energy levels, E1 = 0.00eV, E2 = 1.78eV and E3 = 2.95eV. The ground state is considered 0 eV for reference. The transition of electrons takes place between levels E1 and E2.

- Suppose the external source has a power of 100 W. What would be the rate of photon emission?
