The characteristic X-ray radiation is emitted when –
A
The electrons are accelerated to a fixed energy
B
The source of electrons emits a monoenergetic beam
C
The bombarding electrons knock out electrons from the inner shell of the target atoms and one of the outer electrons falls into this vacancy
D
The valence electrons in the target atoms are removed as a result of collision
Answer
The bombarding electrons knock out electrons from the inner shell of the target atoms and one of the outer electrons falls into this vacancy
Explanation
Solution
Characteristic X-rays are produced due to transition of electrons
