Properties of X Ray & Gamma Rays:
Each photon contains a certain amount (or bundle) of energy, and all electromagnetic radiation consists of these photons. The only difference between the various types of electromagnetic radiation is the amount of energy found in the photons. Due to their short wavelength they have more energy to pass through matter than do the other forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. As they pass through matter, they are scattered and absorbed and the degree of penetration depends on the kind of matter and the energy of the rays.
Tag: X ray production
Production of X-Rays: X-rays are produced due to sudden deceleration of fast-moving electrons when they collide and interact with the target Tungsten anode. In this process of deceleration, more than 99% of the electron energy is converted into heat and less than 1% of energy is converted into x-rays. X- Ray generation is very inefficient process.
