Q. The wavelength of most energetic $X$-rays emitted when a metal target is bombarded by $40KeV$ electrons, is approximately $(h = 6.62 \times 10^{- 34}J$-$sec,\ 1\ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{- 19}J;c = 3 \times 10^{8}m/s)$

A) $300\ \mathring{\mathrm{A}}$
B) $10\ \mathring{\mathrm{A}}$
C) $4\ \mathring{\mathrm{A}}$
D) $0.31\ \mathring{\mathrm{A}}$
Explanation

(d) $\lambda = \frac{12375}{(40 \times 10^{3})} = 0.309\mathring{\mathrm{A}} \approx 0.31\mathring{\mathrm{A}}$
