Hi people :)
I got two questions concerning x-rays
1. WHen x-rays hit the anode is it true that they become accelerated and as a result of thsi accelereation emmits radiation incl. x-rays?
2. in an characterstic spectrum how is it then possible to determine the exact atom which emitted the x-ray i mean the energy from L to K shell is the same for all atoms right?
so if i have an characterstic spectrum with Kalpha and Kbeta the energies for these would be the same for all atoms? and therefore i don't understand why it can be used to identify atoms as the energies are the same?
I hope you understand what i mean :)
best regards Jazzoz
