$A$ metal target with atomic number $Z=46$ is bombarded with a high-energy electron beam. The emission of $X$-rays from the target is analyzed. The ratio $r$ of the wavelengths of the $K_\alpha$-line and the cut-off wavelength is found to be $r=2$. If the same electron beam bombards another metal target with $Z=41$,the value of $r$ will be

In tungsten,the energy of a $K$-shell electron is $20 \, keV$ and that of an $L$-shell electron is $2 \, keV$. When an electron jumps from the $L$ shell to the $K$ shell,the wavelength of the emitted $X$-ray photon will be:
