34. A convex lens of focal length 5 cm is to be used as a simple microscope. Where should an object be kept so that image formed by the lens lies at least distance D of distinct vision (D = 25 cm)? Also calculate the magnifying power of this instrument in this set up.

35. What are characteristic X rays? How are they different from continuous X rays? Give any one difference.

Characteristic X-rays: In continuous spectrum of radiation, a spectrum of discrete X-ray emission lines obtained that is the characteristic of target material. This is called characteristic X-rays.

A continues spectrum (X-rays) consisting of radiations of all possible wavelength with a lower wavelength unit. While a characteristic spectrum (X-rays) consisting of definite wavelength superimposed on the continuous spectrum.
