To find the initial voltage applied to the X-ray tube, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between energy, wavelength, and voltage The energy of a photon can be expressed as: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \( E \) is the energy of the photon, - \( h \) is Planck's constant (\( 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \)), ...
