If the voltage applied to an X-ray tube is increased to 1.5 times the minimum wavelength λminof an X-ray continuous spectrum shifts by λ=26pm . The initial voltage applied to the tube is

a
≈ 10 kV
b
≈ 16 kV
c
≈ 50 kV
d
≈ 75 kV

detailed solution

Correct option is B

λmin=hceV1=λ1  and λ2=hce1V2∆λ=hce1V1-1V2 =26×10-2A  Given V2 = 1.5 V1on solving we get V1 = 16000 volt = 16 kV
