X -rays can be generated by accelerating electrons in a vacuum and letting them impact on atoms in a metal surface. If the 1000 eV kinetic energy of the electrons is completely converted to photon energy. If the electron current is 1.5 × 10 - 5  A, how many photons are produced in 10-10 second?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

λ  in  A 0 = 12408 1000 = 12.4  A 0 X-ray

Voltage 1000 V

Wattage = 1000 × 1.5 × 10 - 5 = 1.5 × 10 - 2  W

= 1.5 × 10 - 2  J / sec

Energy of one photon

= 1000 × 1.6 × 1 0 - 1 9 J = 1.6 × 10 - 16  J

No. of photons/sec = 1.5 × 10 - 2 1.6 × 10 -1 6 = 0.9375 × 10 14

= 9 . 3 7 5 × 1 0 1 3  photons
