Which one of the following statements is WRONG in the context of X-rays generated from a X-ray tube?
- Wavelength of characteristic X-rays decreases when the atomic number of the target increases
- Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the atomic number of the target.
- Intensity of the characteristic X-rays depends on the electrical power given to the X-ray tube
- Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the energy of the electrons in the X-ray tube.
Answer
(B) Cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-rays depends on the atomic number of the target.
