Question

Hard X-rays for the study of fractures in bones should have a minimum wavelength of 1011m. The accelerating voltage for electrons in X-ray machine should be:
  1. >124 kV
  2. Between 60 kV and 70 kV
  3. =100 kV
  4. <124 kV

A
>124 kV
B
<124 kV
C
Between 60 kV and 70 kV
D
=100 kV
Solution
Verified by Toppr

From conservation of energy the electron kinetic energy equals the maximum photon energy (we neglect the work function ϕ because it is normally so small compared to eV0
eV0=hvmax
eV0=hcλmin
V0=hceλmin
h (Plank's Constant) = 6.625×1034Js , c (Speed of light) = 3×108 m/s,
e (Charge of electron) = 1.6×1019C
V0=12400×10101011
=124 kV
Hence, accelerating voltage for electrons in X-ray machine should be less than 124 kV.
