a) light metal target by neutrons
b) heavy metal target by electrons
c) heavy metal target by neutrons
d) light metal target by y rays​

Answer 1

Answer:

heavy metal target by electrons

Answer 2

Option (a) - Non-homogeneous X-rays are generated from a source by the bombardment of a heavy metal target by electrons.

Explanation:

• Non-homogenous X-rays are generated from a source by the bombardment of a heavy metal target by electrons.
• The part of the electromagnetic spectrum which is produced by bombarding a metal target with high-energy electrons is X-ray
• X-rays are produced mainly by bombarding a metal target with high-energy electrons.
• High energy waves such as X-rays and gamma rays are mainly transmitted through body tissues with very little absorption.
• They are emitted when outer shell electrons fill the vacancy in the inner shell of an atom which releases X-rays.
