Hard $X$-rays produced from a Coolidge tube are due to .........

The wavelength of the series limit of the Lyman series in the hydrogen spectrum is $911 \ \mathring{A}$. Calculate the atomic number of the element that emits characteristic $X$-rays with a minimum wavelength of $0.7 \ \mathring{A}$.

The intensity of $X$-rays from a Coolidge tube is plotted against wavelength as shown in the figure. The minimum wavelength found is ${\lambda _c}$ and the wavelength of the ${K_\alpha }$ line is ${\lambda _k}$. As the accelerating voltage is increased:
