Which one of the following statements is $WRONG$ in the context of $X$-rays generated from an $X$-ray tube?

- BCut-off wavelength of the continuous $X$-rays depends on the atomic number of the target.
- CIntensity of the characteristic $X$-rays depends on the electrical power given to the $X$-ray tube.
