An $X$-ray tube produces a continuous spectrum of radiation with its shortest wavelength of $45 \times 10^{-2} \text{ Å}$. The maximum energy of a photon in the radiation in $eV$ is (in $27,500$). $(h = 6.62 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J-s}, c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s})$.

An $X$-ray tube operates at $30 \ kV$. What is the minimum wavelength emitted in $\mathring{A}$? (Given: $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$)

When an $X$-ray tube operates at $60 \ kV$,the observed tube current is $50 \ mA$. Assuming that the total energy of the electrons is converted into heat,the rate of heat production at the anode in $cal/s$ is:
