To calculate the minimum wavelength of X-rays applied voltage of we can use the formula:
λ_min = (hc) / eV
Where:
λ_min = X-rays
h6.626 x 10^-34 Js)
c = speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s)
e = elementary charge (6 x 10^-V = voltage applied to the X-ray tube (50 kV = V)
Plugging valuesλ_min = ((6.626 x 10^-34 Js)( 10^8)) / (1.6 x 10^-19 C *000 V)
λ_min.9878 x 10^-25 Jm) / (8 x 10^-14 CV)
λ_min = 2. 10^-10Therefore, the minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by an X-ray tubeV is approximately 2.484
