Continuous x-ray -

\lambda ^{min}=\frac{hc}{ev}

- wherein

Also called cutoff wavelength . All other wavelength are greater than this.

 

 For continuous X-Ray

\lambda _{min}=\frac{hc}{eV}

\therefore \lambda _{min}\propto \frac{1}{V}

\therefore \lambda _{min} will be lowest for highest value of applied potential.

V=40 KV
