When the number of electrons striking the target material in Coolidge's tube (i.e., X-ray tube) is increased keeping the potential difference same, then–

A

Intensity of X-rays increase

B

Wavelength of X-rays photons increase

C

Frequency of X-rays photons increase

D

Energy of X-rays photons increase

Answer

Intensity of X-rays increase

Explanation

Solution

When no. of electrons increase then number of photons emitted also increase thereby increasing the intensity.

Energy, wavelength and frequency of photon are related to potential difference.
