Question
The intensity of X-rays from a Coolidge tube is plotted against wavelength as shown in the figure. The minimum wavelength found is 
and the wavelength of the 
line is 
. As the accelerating voltage is increased
increases
- decreases
increases
- decreases
increases
decreases
increases
decreases
The correct answer is: increases
Wavelength is independent of the accelerating voltage (V), while the minimum wavelength is inversely proportional to V. Therefore as V increases, remains unchanged whereas decreases or 
will increase
