Chapter 12: Emitted Photons: X-Ray Production
12.1 Introduction to X-Ray Production X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about 0.01 nm to 10 nm. They have numerous applications in medical imaging, material analysis, and security scanning. In this chapter, we will discuss the process of x-ray production, which involves the interaction between high-energy electrons and matter. 12.2…

X-Rays
Introduction X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about 10 nanometers to 0.01 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz () to 30 exahertz (), and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV. X-rays are highly penetrating and are widely used in medical imaging and in various…
