Detailed Solution

An X-ray beam coming from an X-ray tube, contain more than one wavelength, 

Hence, not monochromatic. 

Let the potential difference between accelerating plates of tube =V

maximum  K·E gained by electron =e. V

This maximum  K.E is equal to maximum energy of  x-ray photon = Emax
Emax=hcλ=ev
 λ=hcev
X-ray beam has energy less than or equal to Emax

and since wavelength is inversely proportional to energy, the X-rays will have larger than a certain minimum wavelength.
