An $X$-ray tube produces a continuous spectrum of radiation with its shortest wavelength of $45 \times 10^{-2} \text{ Å}$. The maximum energy of a photon in the radiation in $eV$ is (in $27,500$). $(h = 6.62 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J-s}, c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s})$.

If the potential difference applied across an $X$-ray tube is $V$ volts,then the approximate minimum wavelength of the emitted $X$-rays will be:

$X-$rays are produced due to

$\Delta \lambda$ is the difference between the wavelength of the $K_\alpha$ line and the minimum wavelength of the continuous $X$-ray spectrum when the $X$-ray tube is operated at a voltage $V$. If the operating voltage is changed to $V / 3$,then the above difference is $\Delta \lambda^{\prime}$. Then:

The $K_{\alpha}$ characteristic $X$-ray refers to the transition:
