If the minimum wavelength obtained in an $X-ray$ tube is $2.5 \times 10^{-10} \ m$,the operating potential of the tube will be.....$kV$.

Consider the following two statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct choice in the given answer.
$A:$ The characteristic $X-$ray spectrum depends on the nature of the material of the target.
$B:$ The short wavelength limit of the continuous $X-$ray spectrum varies inversely with the potential difference applied to the $X-$ray tube.

An electron beam is accelerated by a potential difference $V$ to hit a metallic target to produce $X$-rays. It produces continuous as well as characteristic $X$-rays. If $\lambda_{\min}$ is the smallest possible wavelength of $X$-ray in the spectrum,the variation of $\log \lambda_{\min}$ with $\log V$ is correctly represented in:

What does the $K\alpha$ characteristic $X$-ray represent?

The minimum wavelength of $X$-rays produced by $20 \ kV$ electrons is nearly (in $Å$)
