An $X$-ray tube with a copper target emits a $Cu$ $K_{\alpha}$ line of wavelength $1.50 \ \mathring{A}$. What should be the minimum voltage through which electrons are to be accelerated to produce this wavelength of $X$-rays? $(h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{J}\cdot\text{s}, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ \text{m/s})$

$A$ potential difference of $42,000 \ V$ is used in an $X-ray$ tube to accelerate electrons. The maximum frequency of the $X-radiations$ produced is ($1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J$ and $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$).
