The minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by electrons accelerated through potential V is:

Answer: hc/(eV).

  • A hc/(eV)
  • B h/(eV)
  • C eV/(hc)
  • D hV/(ec)

Correct answer: A. hc/(eV)

Explanation: Duane-Hunt law: lambda_min = hc/(eV). All electron KE converts to single X-ray photon.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
