Best Answer

X-rays can be given increased power to penetrate by increasing their frequency (shortening their wavelength). This is generally accomplished by increasing the operating voltage of the X-ray tube. Higher voltages will accelerate electrons more, and their increased energy will result in more energetic ("harder") X-rays at the target of the anode.
