In Fig. 40-13, the x rays shown are produced when 35.0 keV electrons strike a molybdenum (Z = 42) target. If the accelerating potential is maintained at this value but a silver (Z = 47) target is used instead, what values of
(a) λmin,
(b) The wavelength of the Ka line,
(c) The wavelength of the Kβ line result? The K, L, and M atomic x-ray levels for silver (compare Fig. 40-15) are 25.51, 3.56, and 0.53 keV.
