Which one of the following statements is WRONG in the context of X-rays generated from a X-ray tube?
Electrons with de-Broglie wavelength $$\lambda$$ fall on the target in an X-ray tube. The cut-off wavelength of the emitted X-rays is
Some laws/processes are given in Column I. Match these with the physical phenomena given in Column II and indicate your answer by darkening appropriate bubbles in the 4 $$\times$$ 4 matrix given in the ORS.
| Column I | Column II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | Transition between two atomic energy levels | (P) | Characteristic X-rays |
| (B) | Electron emission from a material | (Q) | Photoelectric effect |
| (C) | Mosley's law | (R) | Hydrogen spectrum |
| (D) | Change of photon energy into kinetic energy of electrons | (S) | $$\beta$$-decay |
Statement 1 :
If the accelerating potential in an X-ray tube is increased, the wavelengths of the characteristic X-rays do not change.
Statement 2 :
When an electron beam strikes the target in an X-ray tube, part of the kinetic energy is converted into X-ray energy.
