JEE MAIN - Physics (2017 (Offline) - No. 12)

An electron beam is accelerated by a potential difference V to hit a metallic target to produce X–rays. It produces continuous as well as characteristic X-rays. If $$\lambda $$min is the smallest possible wavelength of X-ray in the spectrum, the variation of log$$\lambda $$min with log V is correctly represented in:

Explanation

In X-ray tube, $${\lambda _{\min }} = {{hc} \over {eV}}$$

$$\log \left( {{\lambda _{\min }}} \right) = \log \left( {{{hc} \over e}} \right) - \log V$$

Clearly, log ($$\lambda $$min) versus log V graph slope is negative hence option (b) is correct.
