^Continuous X-rays
If the fast incident electrons undergo rapid deceleration by the electric field of the target then continuous (as having all sorts of wavelength) X-rays X-rays also called Bremsstrahlung X-rays are produced. This is the result of the inverse photoelectric effect, as the KE of the incident electrons is transformed into energy of X-ray photons. The minimum wavelength of continuous X-ray is:
