Question:
The continuous X-ray spectrum is the result of:
The continuous X-ray spectrum is the result of:
Show Hint
The continuous X-ray spectrum is due to Bremsstrahlung radiation, not characteristic emission.
Updated On: Mar 26, 2025
- Compton effect
- Photoelectric effect
- Inverse photoelectric effect
- Raman effect
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Continuous X-ray spectrum arises from the deceleration of electrons when they strike a metal target, which is also known as Bremsstrahlung radiation or the inverse photoelectric effect.
