Characteristics X-ray MCQs
The variation of wavelength and intensity of X ray emitted from Coolidge tube is studied and the graph of wavelength vs. intensity of X ray is plotted. The nature of the graph shows the variation of intensity for different wavelength of X – rays in Coolidge tube.
Following are the conclusions drawn from the graph,
1) There is a threshold wavelength called cut off wavelength which is minimum wavelength below which X-rays are not emitted.
2) Kα , Kβ wavelength for which intensity of X –rays is maximum are called characteristics X- rays. These wavelengths for characteristics X-rays may be used to identify the element from which they emit.
3) For remaining wavelengths intensity varies gradually & corresponding X-rays are called continuous X-rays.
Q.1) The minimum wavelength below which X-rays cannot emitted is termed as……
