Electrons with energy 80 keV are incident on the tungsten target of an X-ray tube. K shell electrons of tungsten have 72.5 keV energy. X-rays emitted by the tube contain only
  1. a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a minimum wavelength of 0.155 Å
  2. a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with all wavelengths
  3. the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten
  4. a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a minimum wavelength of 0.155 Å and the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten.

Answer

(D) a continuous X-ray spectrum (Bremsstrahlung) with a minimum wavelength of 0.155 Å and the characteristic X-ray spectrum of tungsten.
