Molybdenum is frequently used as a target (anode) material to generate x-rays with characteristic wavelengths of Kα = 0.70930 Å, Kβ = 0.63229 Å.

a. Sketch a schematic diagram of the molybdenum x-ray emission spectrum. Identify all the main features and briefly explain their significance.

b. If the voltage (potential difference) accelerating electrons to the molybdenum target is increased, does this change the characteristic x-ray emission lines? Justify your answer.
