Note that the first term on the LHS of (1) (Corresponding to the character-
istic X-rays) is unaffected due to the application of voltage. EliminatingΔλ
between (2) and (3), we findZ= 28 .82 or 29. The target material is Copper.

The factor within the square brackets is identified as a. Substituteme =
9. 11 × 10 −^31 kg,
e= 1. 6 × 10 −^19 C,
ε 0 = 8. 85 × 10 −^12 F/m andh= 6. 626 × 10 −^34 J – s and putn=2 to finda.
We get
a= 4. 956 × 107 Hz^1 /^2
