$\Delta \lambda$ is the difference between the wavelength of the $K_\alpha$ line and the minimum wavelength of the continuous $X$-ray spectrum when the $X$-ray tube is operated at a voltage $V$. If the operating voltage is changed to $V / 3$,then the above difference is $\Delta \lambda^{\prime}$. Then:

The wavelength of $K_\alpha$ $X$-rays produced in an $X$-ray tube is $0.76 \ \mathring{A}$. The atomic number of the anode material is:
