In hydrogen spectrum, Lα line arises due to transition of electron from the orbit n=3 to the orbit n=2. In the spectrum of singly ionized helium, there is a line having the same wavelength as that of the Lα line of hydrogen.

MEDIUM
In an X-ray tube, electrons emitted from a filament (cathode) carrying current I hit a target (anode) at a distance d from the cathode. The target is kept at a potential V higher than the cathode resulting in emission of continuous and characteristic X-rays. If the filament current I is decreased to I2, the potential difference V is increased to 2V, and the separation distance d is reduced to d2, then
