उत्तर
Potential of the electrons, V = 30 kV = 3 × 104 V
Hence, energy of the electrons, E = 3 × 104 eV
Where,
e = Charge on an electron = 1.6 × 10−19 C
(a) Maximum frequency produced by the X-rays = v
The energy of the electrons is given by the relation.
E = hv
Where,
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10−34 Js
∴ v = `E/h`
= `(1.6 xx 10^(-19) xx 3 xx 10^4)/(6.626 xx 10^(-34))`
= 7.24 × 1018 Hz
Hence, the maximum frequency of X-rays produced is 7.24 × 1018 Hz.
(b) The minimum wavelength produced by the X-rays is given as:
`lambda = c/v`
= `(3 xx 10^8)/(7.24 xx 10^18)`
= 4.14 × 10−11 m
= 0.0414 nm
Hence, the minimum wavelength of X-rays produced is 0.0414 nm.

The constant A in the Richardson−Dushman equation for tungsten is 60 × 104 A m−2K−2. The work function of tungsten is 4.5 eV. A tungsten cathode with a surface area 2.0 × 10−5 m2 is heated by a 24 W electric heater. In steady state, the heat radiated by the heater and the cathode equals the energy input by the heater and the temperature becomes constant. Assuming that the cathode radiates like a blackbody, calculate the saturation current due to thermions. Take Stefan's Constant = 6 × 10−8 W m−2 K−1. Assume that the thermions take only a small fraction of the heat supplied.
