MCQ
The X-ray beam emerging from an X-ray tube:
  • A
    Is monochromatic.
  • B
    Has all wavelengths smaller than a certain maximum wavelength.
  • C
    Has all wavelengths greater than a certain minimum wavelength.
  • D
    Has all wavelengths lying between a minimum and a maximum wavelength.

Answer

  1. Has all wavelengths greater than a certain minimum wavelength.

Explanation:

The X-ray beam emerging from an X-ray tube consists of wavelengths greater than a certain minimum wavelength called cutoff wavelength.
