Find the
(a) maximum frequency, and
(b) minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by 30 kV electrons.
Potential of the electrons, V = 30 kV = 3 × 104 V
Hence, energy of the electrons, E = 3 × 104 eV
Where,
e = Charge on an electron = 1.6 × 10−19 C
(a)Maximum frequency produced by the X-rays = ν
The energy of the electrons is given by the relation:
E = hν
Where,
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10−34 Js
So v = E / h
= 1.6 x 10-19 x 3 x 104 / 6.626 x 10-34 = 7.24 x 1018 Hz
Hence, the maximum frequency of X-rays produced is 7.24 x 1018 Hz
(b)The minimum wavelength produced by the X-rays is given as:
λ = c / v
= 3 x 108 / 7.24 x 1018 = 4.14 x 10-11 m = 0.0414 nm
Hence, the minimum wavelength of X-rays produced is 0.0414 nm.
