When high energetic electron beam , (i.e., cathode rays) strike the heavier metal, then X-ray are produced. Spectrum of X-ray are classified into two categories: (i) continous spectrum, and (ii) characteristic depends only on the potential difference across the electrode. But wavelength of characteristic spectrum depends on the atomic number `(z)`. The production of continuous X-ray is due to theA. acceleration of incident electrons by the the nucleus of the target atomB. electron transition between inner shells of the target atomC. electron transition between outer shells of the target atomD. annibilation of the mass of incident electrons |
Answer» Correct Answer - A When the accelerated electron beam strickes the nucleus of target atom, continuous X-ray are produced. |
