Consider the 2 x-ray spectra from the same x-ray machine.

Measured photon spectra from an x-ray tube with tungsten anode operated at a
constant 140 kV potential. It has an inherent filter thickness of 2.50-mm aluminium and
an additional filter of 6-mm aluminium (thin line) with HVL quality of 8.35-mm Al.

Explain why the spectra are shifted in energy
