Although we have used a lot, there are some things without knowing much about x rays.

  

The emergence of useful X-rays for us is a scientifically interesting phenomenon. The quantum principle describes how electrons are emitted when photons are emitted during the photoelectric effect.

In which the current is changed from photons to electrons, this phenomenon has been continuously studied by many scientific scientists but one scientist who thought that this phenomenon should be performed as a transition is Wilhelm Rontgen.

In other words, X-ray radiation, discovered by Rontgen, is the answer to a search for whether electron kinetic energy can be converted into photon energy. Wilhelm Rontgen discovered that high-penetrating radiation is emitted when fast-moving electrons strike certain materials.

 At that time, many scientists researched and thought that such rays existed but we did not know about them, so he named these rays as X rays until he knew the name, but he did not know that he was the one who discovered it. It was later revealed that the creator of these rays was Wilhelm Rontgen.

These X-rays are short wavelength electromagnetic waves from 0.1 Angstrom to 100 Angstrom. X-rays travel in a straight line at the speed of light and are not deflected by magnetic and electric fields.

Photons in X-rays have high energy because they have a high frequency or short wavelength. X-rays are capable of penetrating even through opaque materials. The quality of X-rays is measured by their penetrating ability, which depends on the velocity of the electrons hitting the target material and the atomic number of the target material.

X-ray intensity is proportional to the number of electrons incident on the target. We know that the production of these X-rays is equivalent to the production of the photoelectric effect.

Formation of X-rays

X-rays are produced by discharge tubes in a battery pack connected to a tungsten electrode that emits electrons.

This state of affairs is due to the voltage difference between the cathode and the anode so the electrons are driven off at high speed.

A target material such as tungsten or molybdenum is exposed on the face of the copper rod. For the electron beam to emerge from the discharge tube, the face of the target object is inclined at a 45-degree angle so that the discharge tube emerges on one side.

When high-velocity electrons collide with a target, the sudden counter-acceleration causes the electrons to lose kinetic energy, resulting in X-ray photons.

 Also, because most of the electrons' kinetic energy is thermal, high-melting point target materials and cooler systems are commonly used.

X-rays are used to treat skin diseases, cancer tumours, etc. because they can destroy diseased tissue. In industry, X-rays are used to test a wide variety of products, from automobile tyres to tennis balls. The X-ray fringe effect is an excellent tool in crystallographic research to understand their structure.
