The intensity of X-rays from a Coolidge tube is plotted against wavelength as shown in the figure. The minimum wavelength found is 
and the wavelength of the 
line is 
. As the accelerating voltage is increased
A
( 
) increases
) increases
B
decreases C
increases
D
decreases
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Wavelength 
is independent of the accelerating voltage 
, while the minimum wavelength 
is inversely proportional to 
. Therefore as 
increases, 
remains unchanged whereas 
decreases or 
will increase.
