Figure shows the intensity-wavelength relations of X-rays coming from two different Coolidge tube. The solid curve represents the relation for the tube A in which the potential difference between the target and the filament is V_a and the atomic number of the target material is Z_A . These quantities are V_beta and Z_beta for the other tube. Then,
