The maximum frequency in the spectrum from an X-ray tube is directly proportional to what?
Correct answer C. The kinetic energy of the incident electron i.e. the potential difference through which they are accelerated
Explanation
The most energetic photon arises when an electron gives up all its kinetic energy, so hf(max) = eV and the maximum frequency is proportional to the accelerating voltage.
