Cut - off wavelength will remain unchanged while characteristic lines will be different

B

Both cut - off wavelength and characteristic lines will remain unchanged

C

Both cut - off wavelength and characteristic lines will be different

When high energetic electron beam , (i.e., cathode rays) strike the heavier metal, then X-ray are produced. Spectrum of X-ray are classified into two categories: (i) continous spectrum, and (ii) characteristic depends only on the potential difference across the electrode.
