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:
