  1. When cathode rays strike a target of high atomic weight, they give rise to
    1. α-rays
    2. β and γ rays
    3. X-rays
    4. positive rays
Correct Option: C

When cathode rays strike a solid target of high atomic weight and high melting point such as tungsten, molybdenum, etc, they give rise to a highly penetrating radiation called the X-rays (LIT Physics by Dr. P.K Agarwal).
