Question

Which of the following statements for X-rays?

(a) X-rays have wavelength ranging upwards from lower limiting value

(b) X-rays have wavelength ranging downwards from upper limiting value

(c) X-rays occur when the kinetic energy is converted into the gamma radiation

(d) X-rays are produce when low energy charged particles are accelerated

The question was asked during an online exam.

I want to ask this question from X-rays and their Generations in section X-Ray Diffraction of Solid State Chemistry

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) X-rays have wavelength ranging upwards from lower limiting value

Explanation: X-rays have wavelengths ranging upwards from limiting value. This lower wavelength limit corresponds to the X-rays of highest energy and occurs when all the kinetic energy of the incident particles s converted into X-rays.
