Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

is minimum wavelength of continuous -ray

Energy,

where, is the voltage applied

Now, if is halved, will not be changed as the energy between the two shells remain same and becomes doubled from (i)
Now,

From (iii) putting in above equation
