When the accelerating voltage applied to the electrons is increased beyond a critical value in an $X$-ray tube,what happens to the $X$-ray spectrum?

  • A
    Only the intensity of the various wavelengths is increased.
  • B
    Only the wavelength of characteristic radiation is affected.
  • C
    The spectrum of white radiation is unaffected.
  • D
    The intensities of characteristic lines relative to the white spectrum are increased,but there is no change in their wavelength.
