The radiation emitted by an X-ray tube has a minimum wavelength of 0.1e-10m. At what potential is the tube being operated?
The radiation emitted by an X-ray tube has a minimum wavelength of 0.1e-10m. At what potential is the tube being operated?
Solution
X ray frequency (f) = eV/h
wavelength = c/f
V = hf/e
V = hc/e*wavelength
V = 6.62*10^-34*3*10^8/1.6*10^-19*10^-11
V = 12.4*10^4 volts
