How are x- rays produced ? Explain the origin of the line spectra and the continuous spectra . What limits the minimum size of X - ray wavelengths ?

Explanation

X-rays are produced in a X- ray tube , where electrons are liberated by heating filament these electrons are further accelerated to high speed by very high potential difference . These high speed electrons are stopped by a metal target of high atomic number and energy of electrons is liberated in the form of X- rays .
