why in continuous x rays electrons was not knock out by cathode rays
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
cathode rays are also known as ‘electron beams’ (arguably a better name). They are essentially streams of electrons.
If we take gas inside a tube and have a beam of electrons passing through the gas, if the electrons are of sufficient energy, they can excite and/or ionise the gas.
Here, ionisation is when electrons are ‘knocked off’ the atom causing it to form a positive ion.
But ultimately, atoms can be ionised because the energy of the electrons in the cathode ray is sufficient to remove electrons from an atom’s orbital.
Answer:
Characteristic X-rays are produced when an element is bombarded with high-energy particles, which can be photons, electrons or ions (such as protons). When the incident particle strikes a bound electron (the target electron) in an atom, the target electron is ejected from the inner shell of the atom.
