Question

How to produce a X-Ray ?? it is said....by firing electrons at a metal ........can it be explained at the subatomic level???

Answer 1

x-rays are of the second highest frequency on the EM spectrum and are a result of excited electrons. Not sure if that answered your question...

Answer 2

not sure if its bcos of excited electrons....,,,,,i saw that,,,when u fire a bunch of electrons at a metal ,,,, the electron (one of them) collides with an electron belonging to the metal atom,,,in the inner shell,,,,thus repelling it off.....now theres a vacant space in the inner shell, ,so an electron from outer shell falls to this inner shelll, losing energy in the form of X rays

Answer 3

But im confused, bcos ,EVEN UV rays are produced in same way it seems........(aint sure)

Answer 4

@Mashy

Answer 5

i will answer this.. if you answer my question..

"what does the fox say?"

Answer 6

which fox?

Answer 7

@AnthonyStark lol

Answer 8

galath jawab :P .. ok .. its called as Brehmstranglum! "stop and radiate"

Answer 9

heres the fox

Answer 10

ok....

Answer 11

how do we connect it all now?

Answer 12

well.. the electrons with high energy when suddenly stopped convert their energy into X rays.. !

Answer 13

This sounds a lot like photoelectric effect in conjunction with Compton scattering

i told that based on this video.......BUT Mashy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i think ur idea contradicts this one!

Answer 15

@Mashy lol

Answer 16

ring ding ding ding ring.. :D

Answer 17

i am high on that song right now!!.. i also made a 10 minute version of just that part.. :D

Answer 18

so... yea.. this thing is little quantum mechanics.. to understand how and why do these electrons give up their energies in terms of photons..
they just do :P

Answer 19

ohhk!! agreed but ,,,,wat abot the video?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9FkLBaktEY
