What is responsible for the production of x ray emission at the cutoff wavelength?

Physics
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

correct answer is option 5 (The emission by the incident electron when it loses its energy in a single emission)

Explanation:

The emission by the incident electron when it loses its energy in a single emission then X-rays of minimum wavelength which is also known as X-rays of cut-off wavelength are emitted.

If potential V is applied on coolidge tube then cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-ray spectrum is related to the accelerating potential  V   by following equation

\lambda_{cut-off} =\frac{hc}{eV} =\frac{12400}{V} Angstrom/V

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What is the new vol
Alborosie
Initial volume of the gas (V1) = 10 inches^3
Initial pressure (P1) = 5 psi
Final pressure after compression of the gas (P1) = 10 psi
Let us assume the final volume of the gas (V2) = x
According to Boyle's Gas law, the pressure and volume of a gas remains constant under ideal condition. Then
P1V1= P2V2
5 * 10 = 10 * x
50 = 10x
x = 50/10
   = 5 cubic inches
So the volume of the gas after it was compressed was 5 cubic inches. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

In major league baseball, the pitcher's mound is 60 feet from the batter. If a pitcher throws a 85 mph fastball, how much time e
Nostrana [21]
The given from your problem are the following:
V = 85mph (This is miles per hour)
d = 60 feet

If you notice the units do not match. Before we can do anything else, we need to make the figures match. 

In this case, we will convert 85miles per hour to feet per hour.  There are 5,280 feet in 1 mile. 
\frac{85miles }{hr} x \frac{5,280feet}{1miles} = \frac{448,800feet}{hr}

But wait! If you think about the scenario, you are looking for how long it will take for the ball to reach the bat. The most applicable unit of time to use here is second. It would be very hard to really measure a short and instantaneous event in hours. So we convert it into feet per second: 

There are 3,600 seconds in 1 hour.

\frac{448,800feet }{hour} x \frac{1hour}{3,600seconds} = \frac{448,800feet}{3,600 seconds} = 124.67ft/s

So now we have our new given as:

v = 124.67ft/s
d = 60 ft

The formula for time can be derived from the formula from velocity, which is:
velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

The formula of time will then be:
time= \frac{distance}{velocity}

All you need to do is plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know. 

time= \frac{60feet}{124.67ft/s}

time= 0.48s

The answer then is 0.48s.

If you want this in hours, just divide the value in seconds by 3,600. The answer would then be 0.00013hr. (See how small it is? This is why seconds would be a more appropriate measure.)

Why does cold weather feel colder inside?
schepotkina [342]
One reason is that when you have been out in the cold, your hands feet and exposed features of your face will take time to recover as the blood circulation improves and supplied warm blood to capillaries. So the relatively warm room you enter will not immediately feel warm until the blood has regained its normal circulation. Other factors are that windows are cooled from the outside and condensation forms on the inside because of moisture in the air. For this condensation to evaporate requires heat, which will be extracted from the room and the air near the windows will be cooled. The cold air will descend and form a draught at floor level and this will tend to make the room cooler.

What's something that I've done in my life that is related to physics
Allisa [31]

That's a very difficult question to answer, because you give us
no information regarding what you have done in your life. 

We can only assume that you have most likely breathed on occasion,
floated on your back in the ocean, lake or pool, maybe fallen off of a
ladder or out of bed, felt the warmth of the sun on your cheek, seen
a rainbow after a rainshower, heard the sound of thunder during a
summer storm, taken a trip in an airplane, and waited for a cup of
hot chocolate to cool off.  The richness of any of these experiences
is greatly enhanced when you understand some of the Physics involved.
