The waves emitted when a metal target is bombarded with high energy electrons are

The maximum Compton's shift in wavelength of the scattered -ray beam is almost

Characteristic rays of frequency are produced, when transition from shell to shell take place in a certain material. Then atomic number of the target material is

What would the wavelength of the line emitted by a hydrogen-like element, if wavelength of the characteristic ray, line emitted by it is .

If only of the energy supplied to a Coolidge tube is converted into ray beam, then calculate the energy carried by the rays, if the potential difference across the tube is and current flows through the voltage supply.

If a Coolidge tube is operated at potential difference of , minimum wavelength of rays produced is:

The element which has a -rays line of wavelength is and

If (nical) is used as target material, then is minimum wavelength produced in -ray tube and is the wavelength of line. If the operating tube voltage is increased and (calsium) is used as target material in place of then the difference will :

Electrons with de-Broglie wavelength fall on the target in an X-ray tube. The cut-off wavelength of the emitted X-rays is

A student is jogging on a straight path with the speed per hour. Perpendicular to the path is kept a pipe with its opening from the road (see figure). Diameter of the pipe is At the other end of the pipe is a speaker emitting sound of towards the opening of the pipes. As the student passes in front of the pipe, she hears the speaker sound for seconds. is in the range (take speed of sound, ):

Electrons of mass with de Broglie wavelength fall on the target in an -ray tube. The cut-off wavelength of the emitted -ray is

The speed of the colliding electron is increased in an -ray tube, then

In a coolidge tube, the potential difference used to accelerate the electrons is increased from to As a result the difference between and increases three fold. The wavelength of line is -
