Statement I: Intensity of X -rays can be controlled by adjusting the filament current and voltage. Statement II: The intensity of X -rays does not depend on number of X -ray photons emitted per second from the target.

Question

Statement I: Intensity of X -rays can be controlled by adjusting the filament current and voltage. Statement II: The intensity of X -rays does not depend on number of X -ray photons emitted per second from the target. (A) If both statements are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I (B) If both statements are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I (C) If statement I is true but statement II is false (D) If both statements are false

Intensity of X -rays (I) is proportional to the filament current and also to the square of the voltage. It is well known that intensity of X -rays depends on the number of photons emitted per second from target.

Q. Statement I: Intensity of $X$ -rays can be controlled by adjusting the filament current and voltage.
Statement II: The intensity of $X$ -rays does not depend on number of $X$ -ray photons emitted per second from the target.

If both statements are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I

If both statements are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I

If statement I is true but statement II is false

If both statements are false

Intensity of $X$ -rays $(I)$ is proportional to the filament current and also to the square of the voltage. It is well known that intensity of $X$ -rays depends on the number of photons emitted per second from target.
