The electric current in an X-ray tube (from the target to the filament) operating at 40 kV is 10 mA. Assume that on an average, 1% of the total kinetic energy of the electron hitting hte target are converted into X-rays.
(a) What is the total power emitted as X-rays and (b) how much heat is produced in the target every second?

उत्तर
Given :
V = 30 KV
i = 10mA
1% of TKE (total kinetic energy) = X-ray
i = ne
or `n = (10^-2)/(1.6 xx 10^-19)`
= `0.625 xx 10^17` (number of electrons)
KE of one electron = eV
= `1.6 xx 10^-19 xx 40 xx 10^3`
= `6.4 xx 10^-15 "J"`
`"T"_("KE") = 0.625 xx 6.4 xx 10^17 xx 10^-15`
= `4 xx 10^2 "J"`
(b) Heat produced in target per second = 400 − 4 = 396 J

In an atom X, electrons absorb the energy from an external source. This energy “excites” the electrons from a lower-energy level to a higher-energy level around the nucleus of the atom. When electrons return to the ground state, they emit photons.
The figure below is the energy level diagram of atom X with three energy levels, E1 = 0.00eV, E2 = 1.78eV and E3 = 2.95eV. The ground state is considered 0 eV for reference. The transition of electrons takes place between levels E1 and E2.
- What wavelength of radiation is needed to excite the atom to energy level E2 from E1?
- Suppose the external source has a power of 100 W. What would be the rate of photon emission?
