RT 111 Flashcards
Explain Anode Heat
- projectile e interact w/ outer shell e
- low energy = NOT ionize, but excited
- excited outer shell e releases heat/infrared
- e returns to og state
Explain Characteristic Radiation
- projectile e interact w/ inner shell
- inner shell ionize = e void
- outer shell e fill vacancy
- transition of outer to inner = charac x-rays
*low energy = orbital e fill is far from void
*high energy =orbital e fill is near void
Explain Bremsstrahlung Radiation
- projectile e miss orbital e, interact w/ nuclear field
- projectile e is slowed down & change direction
- slowed down fx = brems
*low energy =pe barely influenced by nuclear field (deflection =far)
*high energy =pe highly influenced (deflection =close to nucleus)
