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
- A9375 photons
- B1000 photons
- C8687 photons
- D1610 photons
Correct answer
A. 9375 photons
Step-by-step 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
