X-rays are produced when high-energy electrons strike a metal target. The minimum wavelength of X-rays produced (Duane-Hunt limit) is:
Aλ_min = hc/eV
Bλ_min = eV/hc
Cλ_min = h/eV
Dλ_min = eV/c
Question 2
The two types of X-ray spectra are:
AVisible light and ultraviolet spectra only
BContinuous and characteristic X-ray spectra
CAbsorption and emission spectra in the UV range
DOnly soft and hard X-ray spectral divisions
Question 3
Moseley's Law relates the frequency of characteristic X-ray emission to the atomic number Z as:
Aν = a(Z - b)
B√ν = a(Z - b)
Cν = aZ²
Dν = a/Z
