Vedclass · Answer

(A) The energy of an electron accelerated through a potential difference $V$ is $E = eV$.For the minimum wavelength (maximum energy photon),all kinetic energy of the electron is converted into a single photon: $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{\min}}$.Equating the two: $eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{\min}}$,which gives $\lambda_{\min} = \frac{hc}{eV}$.Given $V = 20 \, kV = 20 	imes 10^3 \, V$.Using the constant $hc \approx 12400 \, eV \cdot \mathring{A}$,we get:$\lambda_{\min} = \frac{12400 \, eV \cdot \mathring{A}}{20 	imes 10^3 \, eV} = \frac{12400}{20000} \, \mathring{A} = 0.62 \, \mathring{A}$.
