How are X-rays produced?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When fastly moving electrons are stopped
suddenly on a metal target of higher atomic
number, then X-rays are produced. The X-rays
will also be produces when an electron jumps
from higher orbits to a vacancy on the inner
complete orbits in an atom of the element.
