Problem 6.137

At a certain voltage applied to an X-ray tube with aluminium anticathode the short-wave cut-off wavelength of the continuous X-ray spectrum is equal to \(0.50 \mathrm{nm}\). Will the \(K\) series of the characteristic spectrum whose excitation potential is equal to \(1.56 \mathrm{kV}\) be also observed in this case?
