X-rays can be generated by accelerating electrons in a vacuum and letting them impact on atoms in

Question:

X-rays can be generated by accelerating electrons in a vacuum and letting them impact on atoms in a metal surface. If the 1250. eV kinetic energy of the electrons is completely converted to the photon energy, what is the wavelength of the X-rays produced? If the electron current is 3.50 × 10−5 A, how many photons are produced per second?
