    Minimum wavelength of X-rays produced in a coolidge tube operated at potential difference of 40 kV is

    A)  \[0.31\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]                            

    B)  \[3.1\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C)  \[31\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]                

    D)         \[311\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    For continuous X-rays, minimum wavelength produced, \[{{\lambda }_{\min }}=\frac{hc}{eV}\]                 \[=\frac{12375}{(energy\,in\,eV)}\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] \[=\frac{12375}{40\times {{10}^{3}}}\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,=0.31\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
