The figure represents the observed intensity of $X-$rays emitted by an $X-$ray tube, as a function of wavelength. The sharp peaks $A$ and $B$ denote

A

band spectrum

B

continuous spectrum

C

characteristic spectrum

D

white radiation

Solution

In $X-$ray spectra, depending on the voltage and element, we may find several peaks on the continuous spectrum. These are at different wavelengths for different elements . They form characteristic $X$ – ray spectrum. Sharp peaks $A$ and $B$ denote characteristics $X-$ rays.
