Explanation

 The penetrating power of X-rays increases with the increase in frequency because energy is directly proportional to frequency.

The shortest wavelength of X-rays emitted from an X-ray tube depends upon

Explanation

The kinetic energy of electrons bombarding on the target depends on the accelerating voltage. The shortest wavelength of x rays emitted depends on the kinetic energy of the electrons. Therefore, the shortest wavelength depends on the voltage applied.

X-rays are not used for radar purposes, because they are not

Explanation

 X rays, having an extremely high frequency and low wavelength, would not be suitable to use as RADAR because they would penetrate the obstacle instead of reflecting and coming back.
