In the X-ray radiography technique, the tube voltage for thicker plates as compared to thin plates, should be________________?

Correct answer: C. Higher, as it gives shorter wavelength

  • A. Higher, as it gives higher wavelength
  • B. Lower, as it gives higher wavelength
  • C. Higher, as it gives shorter wavelength
  • D. Lower, as it gives shorter wavelength

Explanation

Thicker plates require more penetrating X-rays, obtained by increasing tube voltage. Higher voltage produces higher-energy photons with shorter wavelengths, so option C fits both requirements.
