If a voltage applied to an $X$-ray tube is increased to $1.5$ times, the minimum wavelength $(\lambda_{\min})$ of an $X$-ray continuous spectrum shifts by $\Delta \lambda = 26 \, pm$. The initial voltage applied to the tube is:

  • A
    $\approx 10 \, kV$
  • B
    $\approx 16 \, kV$
  • C
    $\approx 50 \, kV$
  • D
    $\approx 75 \, kV$
