    An electron is accelerated at 10 kV to a tungsten target. The wavelength of X-ray photon produced will be

    A) \[0.62\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B) \[2.48\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C) \[0.124\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]                   

    D) \[1.24\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From Einsteins photoelectric equation, we have \[E=hv=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\]where h is Plancks constant, c the speed of light and \[\lambda \] the wavelength. Given, \[E=10\,kV=10\times {{10}^{3}}V\],                 \[E=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 10\times {{10}^{3}}J\]                 \[=1.6\times {{10}^{-15}}J\]                 \[h=6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}J-s\],                                 \[c=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda =\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-15}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda =1.24\times {{10}^{-10}}m\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda =1.24\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]
