Question

An x-ray source generates EM radiation with a wavelength of 45.0 pm (10^-12 m).

h = 6.63∙10-34J∙s       c = 3.0∙108ms     q_electron = e = 1.602x10^-19 C

k_e = 8.99x10⁹ N·m²/C², λmax T =0.2898∙10-2  m∙K

1. What is the energy associated with this wave?
2. What potential difference must be applied to the x-ray tube to produce this x-ray?
3. The air gap in the x-ray tube is 30.0 μm. How much charge must be present to create this potential difference for a single electron?
4. What is the force on the electron when it is at 30.0 μm due to this charge?
5. What temperature blackbody would create this same wavelength?

Answer 1

All the values are given, we just need to put these values in particular formulas as shown below.
