Intensity of X-rays depends upon the intensity of the bombarding electrons beam.

The upper limit of the frequency of continuous X-rays is not zero.

νmax=meve22h or, νmax=eV0h

Penetrating power of X-rays depends on operating voltage of the tube. Operating voltage increases the energy of the bombarding electrons which cause the emission of x-ray photons of larger energy. Higher energetic x-rays have larger penetration power.

Wavelength depends on accelerating voltage.
