Which one of the following statements is WRONG in the context of X-rays generated from a X-ray tube?
- Wavelength of characteristic X-ray 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
