Question

What is bremsstrahlung ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\color{cyan}\boxed{\colorbox{black}{Answer}}$

Bremsstrahlung, from bremsen "to brake" and Strahlung "radiation"; i.e., "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation", is electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic nucleus.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathcal\red{Answer:-}$

• The bremsstrahlung is electromagnetic radiation produced by the acceleration or deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by magnetic fields or another charged particle. Radiation Dosimetry.

$\mathfrak{Refer \:to \:Attachment}$

When a electron is accelerated or decelerated it emits radiation and thus loses energy and slows down. This deceleration radiation is known as bremsstrahlung.

➡The two commonest occurrences of bremsstrahlung are by:

• Deceleration of charged particle. When charged particles enter a material they are decelerated by the electric field of the atomic nuclei and atomic electrons.

• Acceleration of charged particle. When ultra-relativistic charged particles move through magnetic fields they are forced to move along a curved path. Since their direction of motion is continually changing, they are also accelerating and so emit bremsstrahlung, in this case it is referred to as synchrotron radiation.

Hope it helps you out !
