  1. Correct Answer – (i) `1.1 xx 10^(17)`
    (ii) `1.2 xx 10^(8) m//s`
    (i) Operating voltage `=40 kV, 0.5 %` energy for x ray
    `:. 99.5/100xxnxxexxV=720`
    `n=(720)/(1.6xx10^(-14)xx0.995xx40xx10^(3))=1.1xx10^(17)`
    (ii) Velocity of incident `e^(-)implies 1/2 mv_(e)^(2)=eV`
    `v_(e)=sqrt((2eV)/m)=sqrt((2xx1.6xx10^(19)xx40xx10^(3))/(9.1xx10^(-31)))`
    `=1.2xx10^(8) m//s`
