X-rays

Question

If the potential difference between the anode and cathode of the X-ray tube is increases

Moderate

A

The peaks at R and S would move to shorter wavelength
B

The peaks at R and S would remain at the same wavelength
C

The cut off wavelength at P would decrease
D

(2) and (3) both are correct

Solution

Peaks on the graph represent characteristic X-ray spectrum. Every peak has a certain wavelength, which depends upon the transition of electron inside the atom of the target. While $λ_{\min}$ depends upon the accelerating voltage (As $λ_{\min} \propto 1 / V$ )
