Classification of X-Rays

Category : JEE Main & Advanced

In X-ray tube, when high speed electrons strikes the target, they penetrate the target. They loses their kinetic energy and comes to rest inside the metal. The electron before finally being stopped makes several collisions with the atoms in the target. At each collision one of the following two types of X-rays may get formed.

(1) Continuous X-rays   

(2) Characteristic X-rays
