Hard X-rays for the study of fractures in bones should have a minimum wavelength of 10' m. The accelerating voltage for electrons in X-ray machine should be
< 124 kV
> 124 kV
between 60 kV and 70 kV
= 100 kV
A.
< 124 kV
From conservation of energy the kinetic energy of electron equals the maximum photon energy (we neglect the he work function because it is normally so small compared to eVo ).
eVo = h vmax
= 124 kV
Hence, accelerating voltage for electrons in X-ray machine should be less than 124 kV.
