Question
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?

Solution
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

Continuous X-rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming X-rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic X-rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only Kα intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation v − (25 × 1014Hz)(Z − 1)2.
