Anode is the source of bremsstrahlung and characteristic rays.
What is meant by bremsstrahlung radiation?
- The radiation that free electrons that are deflected (i.e., accelerated) in the electric fields of charged particles and the nuclei of atoms emit is known as bremsstrahlung (or "braking radiation").
- Bremsstrahlung is produced when electrons decelerate or brake as they strike the anode (meaning braking radiation in German).
- The most efficient way to create bremsstrahlung is to have small charged particles interact with big atoms, such when electrons strike a tungsten anode.
- The bremsstrahlung and characteristic processes are the two distinct processes that generate x-rays. While distinctive x-rays are created at certain narrow bands of energy, bremsstrahlung x-rays have a continuous x-ray spectrum.
