The diagram shows a graph between the intensity of $X$-rays emitted by a molybdenum target and the wavelength,when electrons of $30 \ keV$ are incident on the target. In the graph,one peak corresponds to the $K_\alpha$ line and the other peak corresponds to the $K_\beta$ line.

  • A
    The first peak is the $K_\alpha$ line at $0.6 \ \mathring{A}$.
  • B
    The highest peak is the $K_\alpha$ line at $0.7 \ \mathring{A}$.
  • C
    If the energy of the incident particles is increased,the peaks will shift towards the left.
  • D
    If the energy of the incident particles is increased,the peaks will shift towards the right.

An electron having de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a target in an $X$-ray tube. The cut-off wavelength of the emitted $X$-ray is:

When $X$-rays from a Coolidge tube pass through an aluminum foil of thickness $0.3 \, mm$,$50\%$ of the $X$-rays are transmitted. If the potential difference between the target and the cathode is increased,the fraction of $X$-rays transmitted through the same foil will be .......

The minimum wavelength of the $X$-rays produced at an accelerating potential $V$ is $\lambda$. If the accelerating potential is changed to $2V$, then the minimum wavelength would become:
