Q1: In an X-ray tube, electrons emitted from a filament (cathode) carrying current I hit a target
(anode) at a distance ?? from the cathode. The target is kept at a potential ?? higher than the cathode
resulting in emission of continuous and characteristic ?? -rays. If the filament current I is decreased to
?? ?? ,
the potential difference ?? is increased to ?? ?? , and the separation distance ?? is reduced to
?? ?? , then
(a) the cut-off wavelength will reduce to half, and the wavelengths of the characteristic ?? -rays will
remain the same
(b) the cut-off wavelength as well as the wavelengths of the characteristic X-rays will remain the same
(c) the cut-off wavelength will reduce to half, and the intensities of all the X-rays will decrease
(d) the cut-off wavelength will become two times larger, and the intensity of all the X-rays will
decrease

? 75 nuclei are left after one hour
So, number of nuclei decayed = 600 - 75 = 525

Q1: In an X-ray tube, electrons emitted from a filament (cathode) carrying current I hit a target
(anode) at a distance ?? from the cathode. The target is kept at a potential ?? higher than the cathode
resulting in emission of continuous and characteristic ?? -rays. If the filament current I is decreased to
?? ?? ,
the potential difference ?? is increased to ?? ?? , and the separation distance ?? is reduced to
?? ?? , then
(a) the cut-off wavelength will reduce to half, and the wavelengths of the characteristic ?? -rays will
remain the same
(b) the cut-off wavelength as well as the wavelengths of the characteristic X-rays will remain the same
(c) the cut-off wavelength will reduce to half, and the intensities of all the X-rays will decrease
(d) the cut-off wavelength will become two times larger, and the intensity of all the X-rays will
decrease

So, when V double, then cut-off wavelength become half. Characteristic does not depend on voltage.
When I is halved, then intensity will decrease.
