Question

Find the maximum potential difference which may be applied across an X-ray tube with tungsten target without emitting any characteristic K or L X-ray. The energy levels of the tungsten atom with an electron knocked out are as follows.

Cell containing vacancy	K	L	M
Energy in keV	69.5	11.3	2.3

✓

Answer

Let for, k series emission the potential required = v

$\therefore$ Energy of electrons = ev

This amount of energy ev = energy of L shell

The maximum potential difference that can be applied without emitting any electron is 11.3ev.
