Which one of the following statements concerning the cutoff wavelength (\"shorte

Question

Which one of the following statements concerning the cutoff wavelength ("shortest wavelength") typically exhibited in X-ray spectra is true? The cutoff wavelength:

(a) occurs because of the mutual shielding effects of K-shell electrons.
(b) is independent of th eenergy of the incident electrons.
(c) depends on the potential difference through which the electrons are accelerated.
(d) occurs because an incident electron cannot give up all of its energy.
(e) depends on the target material.




***Please provide ALL formulas/concepts used***

Explanation / Answer

The answer is option C The cutoff wavelength depends on thepotential difference across the X-ray tube
