If the frequency of an emitted x-ray is 1.6 x 10\(^{16}\)Hz, the accelerating potential is?
[e = 1.6 x 10\(^{19}\)C, h = 6.63 x 10\(^{-34}\)Js]
- 6630.0V
- 663.0V
-
66.3V
- 6.6V
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Energy imparted by the accelerating system = e x V, where V is the accelerating potential; and this energy is equal to the energy of the X-ray, give by hf
e x V = hf
∴ V = hf/e
(6.63 x 10\(^{-34}\) x 1.6 x 10\(^{16}\))/1.6 x 10\(^{-19}\)
= 6.63 x 10 = 66.3V
