Q

describe compton effect

A

xray photon interacts with the outer orbital electron and imparts some of its energy to the electron causing emission from the outer orbit and the remaining energy of the photon is emitted another direction

Q

xray production-

A

cathode -electrons are released
anode-the electrons reach the copper anode and the electrons reaching the tungsten focal point will be converted to heat and a small amount will be scattered as xrays

Q

what is characteristic radiation line radiation ?

A

When the projectile electron interacts with the electron in the K shell of the target atom rather than the electron in the outer shell it results in the ejection of electron in the K shell if the energy of the projectile electron exceeds the binding energy of the ejected electron. This results in transient electron
vacancy in the K shell into which an electron from the outer shell or from another atom falls and this process continues till the atom becomes stable. This
shifting of electrons results in emission of X-ray. .photon

Q

/what is bremstraulung radiation or breaking radiation

A

When the projectile electron approaches the nucleus of the atom avoiding the orbital electrons, it slows down, due to the opposite charges, and gets deflected
from its original course. During this the incident electron loses its kinetic energy, due to its slow down, and this loss of kinetic energy is emitted as X-ray
photon.
-The X-ray produced by this type is called bremstrahlung or breaking radiation.
