Hi all,
In an x-ray spectrum, the curve part represents the bremsstrahlung part, and the spikes are the characteristics x-rays. Characteristic x-rays represent a discrete energy. However, in many textbooks, I noticed that the characteristic x-rays are often represented as a peak, which implies a range of energies.
Can anyone help me understand why this is so? Am I missing something?
Thanks!
