MCQ

If the potential difference applied to the tube is doubled and the separation between the filament and the target is also doubled, the cutoff wavelength:

A
Will remain unchanged.
B
Will be doubled.
✓
Will be halved.
D
Will become four times the original.

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

Will be halved.

Cut off wavelength is given by
$\lambda_{\text{min}}=\frac{\text{hc}}{\text{eV}'}$
where h = Planck's constan
c = speed of light
e = charge on an electron
V = potential difference applied to the tube
When potential difference (V) applied to the tube is doubled, cutoff wavelength
$\big({\lambda}'_\text{min}\big)$ is given by
${\lambda}'_\text{min}=\frac{\text{hc}}{\text{e}(2\text{V})}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda'_\text{min}=\frac{\lambda_\text{min}}{2}$
Cuttoff wavelength does not depend on the separation between the filament and the target.
Thus, cutoff wavelength will be halved if the the potential difference applied to the tube is doubled.

A projectile is launched from the origin in the $xy$ plane ( $x$ is the horizontal and $y$ is the vertically up direction) making an angle $\alpha$ from the $x$-axis. If its distance. $r =\sqrt{ x ^2+ y ^2}$ from the origin is plotted against $x$, the resulting curves show different behaviours for launch angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the figure below. For $\alpha_1, r ( x )$ keeps increasing with $x$ while for $\alpha_2$, $r(x)$ increases and reaches a maximum, then decreases and goes through a minimum before increasing again. The switch between these two cases takes place at an angle $\alpha_c\left(\alpha_1 < \alpha_c < \alpha_2\right)$. The value of $\alpha_c$ is [ignore where $v_0$ is the initial speed of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]
