Question

explain the origin of x-rays and relationship between their wave length and nucleus charge in the atomic form which they originate?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gamma rays come out of the nucleus and x-rays are produced by slamming high-speed electrons into blocks of metal. The electron dislodges one of the inner electrons and when it returns to its spot it emits an x-ray. On average gamma rays are higher energy and smaller wavelength than x-rays. The x-ray does not come out of the nucleus but the charge of the nucleus affects the energy level of the x-ray. For each radioactive nucleus that emits gamma rays, their is a very specific energy for the gamma rays. The energy level of gamma rays emitted from an unknown nucleus can be used to identify it.
