Questions  

If the potential difference between the anode and cathode of the X-ray tube is increased

a
The peaks at R and S would move to shorter wavelength
b
The peaks at R and S would remain at the same wavelength
c
The cut off wavelength at P would decrease
d
(b) and (c) both are correct

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Peaks on the graph represent characteristic X-ray spectrum. Every peak has a certain wavelength, which depends upon the transition of electron inside the atom of the target. While λmin depends upon the accelerating voltage (As.  )
