Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.119CHP
X rays with a wavelength of 1.54 × 10−10 m are produced when a copper metal target is bombarded with high-energy electrons that have been accelerated by a voltage difference of 30,000 V. The kinetic energy of the electrons (see Problem 2.118) equals the product of the voltage difference and the electronic charge in coulombs, where 1 volt-coulomb = 1 J.
- (a) What is the kinetic energy in joules and the de Broglie wavelength in meters of an electron that has been accelerated by a voltage difference of 30,000 V?
- (b) What is the energy in joules of the X rays emitted by the copper target?
