Solution
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
)Maximum frequency produced by the X-rays = ν
The energy of the electrons is given by the relation:
E = hν
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 xx 10^18 Hz`
