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

The intensity distribution of $X$-rays from two Coolidge tubes operated on different voltages $V_1$ and $V_2$ and using different target materials of atomic numbers $Z_1$ and $Z_2$ is shown in the figure. Which one of the following inequalities is true?

The dependence of the short wavelength limit $\lambda _{\min }$ on the accelerating potential $V$ is represented by the curve of figure.

$\Delta \lambda$ 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:

$A$ metal target with atomic number $Z=46$ is bombarded with a high-energy electron beam. The emission of $X$-rays from the target is analyzed. The ratio $r$ of the wavelengths of the $K_\alpha$-line and the cut-off wavelength is found to be $r=2$. If the same electron beam bombards another metal target with $Z=41$,the value of $r$ will be
