The emission of x rays can be described as an inverse photoelectric effect.

what is the potential difference through which an electron accelerates to produce x rays with a wavelength of 0.10 nm?

The potential difference through which an electron accelerates to produce x rays is .                                                  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of the x -rays,

The energy of the x- rays is given by :

The energy of an electron in terms of potential difference is given by :

So,

V is the potential difference

e is the charge on electron

V = 12431.25 volts

or

So, the potential difference through which an electron accelerates to produce x rays is . hence, this is the required solution.
