Question

Briefly explain the basic principle XRF Spectroscopy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

•A primary X-ray, typically generated in an X-ray tube, hits an inner shell electron of the atom and ejects the election from the atom. The open position is filled by an electron from a further outer shell and fluorescence radiation is emitted.

•X-rays are a type of electromagnetic wave comparable to visible light rays but with an extremely short wavelength that measures from 100A to 0.1A. X-ray fluorescence analysis is a method that uses characteristic X-rays (fluorescent X-rays) generated when X-rays irradiate a substance.
