(1) The intensity of the ejected X-rays depends upon the number of electrons striking the anti cathode which in its turn depends upon the heating current in the filament. Thus, the intensity of X-rays can be changed by changing the healing current or temperature.

(2) The penetrating power of the X-rays depends upon the accelerating voltage i.e., potential difference between the cathode and the anti cathode. More the accelerating voltage, more the penetrating power of the X-rays.
