Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The minimum wavelength of bremsstrahlung radiation is inversely proportional to the voltage across the X-ray tube. Therefore, when the voltage is doubled, the minimum wavelength decreases to one-half of its original wavelength.

When the Voltage Across an X-Ray Tube Is Doubled,the Minimum
