$X$-rays of wavelength $0.140 \,nm$ are scattered from a block of carbon. What will be the wavelengths of $X$-rays scattered at $90^{\circ}$ (in $\,nm$)?

$\Delta \lambda$ 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:
