Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, German physicist, Who, on November 8, 1895, accidentally detected electromagnetic radiation, today known as x-rays or Roentgen rays.



An achievement that earned him the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.

The shorter the wavelength of the X ray, the greater is its energy and its penetrating power.



Longer wavelengths, near the ultraviolet-ray band of the electromagnetic spectrum, are known as soft X rays.



The shorter wavelengths, closer to and overlapping the gamma-ray range, are called hard X rays Lecture delivered @ HITEC UNIVERSITY, Taxila, by Atif M. Khokhar



“ Process In which electromagnetic radiation produced by the acceleration of a charged particle (an electron), when deflected by another charged particle (an atomic nucleus). Electron radiates away from the site of encounter.” such radiations are called X-rays 

Bremsstrahlung process (from the German bremsen, to brake and Strahlung, radiation, thus, "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation"),

An incident electron penetrates the electron cloud of the atom and passes close to the nucleus.



The electron's kinetic energy is reduced as it is deflected from its original path. The energy lost by the electron takes the form

The two sharp peaks in the illustration at left occur when vacancies are produced in the n=1 or K-shell of the atom and electrons drop down from above to fill the gap. The x-rays produced by are called K-alpha x-rays, and those for the n=2 transition are called K-beta x-rays. The continuous distribution of x-rays which forms the base for the two sharp peaks at left is called "Bremsstrahlung" radiation.

The target atoms consists of a small "block" of the target material, usually mounted on a heat removing substrate, and sometimes immersed in oil . The electrons come from a heated filament of ~10-50 mA current . The incident electrons acquire a high incident energy by being accelerated by the high voltage supply of tens of kV, connected across the target block and the filament. The resulting X-rays scatter away from the target, and pass through a window in the X-ray tube housing.

X rays affect a photographic emulsion in the same way light does . X rays also cause fluorescence in certain materials, such as barium platinocyanide and zinc sulfide. Another important characteristic of X rays is their ionizing power, which depends upon their wavelength. The capacity of monochromatic X rays to ionize is directly proportional to their energy. X rays may be diffracted by passage through a crystal or by reflection (scattering) from a crystal, which consists of regular lattices of atoms that serve as fine diffraction gratings.

In the interaction between matter and X rays, three mechanisms exist by which X rays are absorbed. 

When a photon, in the X-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum strikes an atom, it may intrude on an electron within an inner shell and eject it from the atom. If the photon carries more energy than is necessary to eject the electron, it will transfer its residual energy to the ejected electron in the form of kinetic energy. This phenomenon, called the photoelectric effect, occurs primarily in the absorption of low-energy X rays. Lecture delivered @ HITEC UNIVERSITY, Taxila, by Atif M. Khokhar

When a high-energy photon collides with an electron, both particles may be deflected at an angle to the direction of the path of the incident X ray. The incident photon, having delivered some of its energy to the electron, emerges with a longer wavelength. These deflections, accompanied by a change of wavelength, are known as Compton scattering.

Lecture delivered @ HITEC UNIVERSITY, Taxila, by Atif M. Khokhar





When a high-energy photon penetrates the electron shell close to the nucleus, it may create a pair of electrons, one of negative charge and the other positive; a positively charged electron is also known as a positron. This pair production is an example of the conversion of energy into mass. The photon requires at least 1.2 MeV of energy to yield the mass of the pair. If the incident photon possesses more energy than is required for pair production, the excess energy is imparted to the electron pair as kinetic energy. The paths of the two particles are different.

When the square root of the frequencies of the characteristic x-rays from the elements is plotted against the atomic number, a straight line is obtained. In his early 20's, Moseley measured and plotted the x-ray frequencies for about 40 of the elements of the periodic table. He showed that the K-alpha x-rays followed a straight line when the atomic number Z versus the square root of frequency was plotted.

Atomic Spectra

Lecture delivered @ HITEC UNIVERSITY, Taxila, by Atif M. Khokhar

Atomic Spectra - Since the 19th century, it had been known that when elements are heated until they emit light (glow) they emit that light only at discrete frequencies, giving a line spectrum. -

Line Spectrum

1429-‫ﺷوال‬-27

Line spectra cannot be explained by the classical physics. We explain this phenomenon by utilizing two new concepts: 1. The particle nature of light (photons) 2. Energy levels: An atom can only have certain discrete energy values- we say that their energy is quantized. These energy values are called energy levels.

Lecture delivered @ HITEC UNIVERSITY, Taxila, by Atif M. Khokhar

When an electron makes a transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level ,the difference in the energy is emitted out as a photon . Each transition produces a photon of a certain energy and this appears as a line of certain wavelength on the spectrum. These lines constitute the Emission spectrum

When white light passes through a gas, the gas absorbs light of certain wavelengths that are not present in its emission spectrum. The resulting spectrum has some colors (wavelengths ) missing replaced by dark lines. This is called the Absorption spectrum.
