In a coolidge tube, the tungsten (Z=74) target is bombarded by electrons. What is the minimum value of the accelerating potential to enable emission of characteristic `K_(alpha)` and `K_(beta)` lines of tungsten. ( The K,L & M levels of tungsten have Binding energies of 69.5, 11.3 & 2.30 keV respectively.)

When 50 keV electrons are made incident on a target material, the wavelength of K_(alpha) X–ray line was found to be 0.5Å. When the accelerating potential is increased to 100 kV, then the wavelength of K_(alpha) –line from the same target will be

In a Coolidge tube, the potential difference used to accelerate the electrons is increased from 24. 8 kV to 49.6 kV . As a result, the difference between the wavelength of K_(alpha) -line and minimum wavelength becomes two times. The initial wavelength of the K_(alpha) line is [Take (hc)/(e) = 12 .4 kV Å ]
