    Graduate What happens to an electron's energy after Bremsstrahlung radiation?

    So, if an electron with 60 KeV interacts with the nucleus of a target material such that all of its energy is converted into an x-ray photon of energy 60 KeV, what happens to that electron now since it has 'no energy'?

    Graduate What happens to an electron's energy after Bremsstrahlung radiation?

    What happens to an electron after it has undergone Bremsstrahlung and all its energy has been converted into an x-ray photon?

    Undergrad X-ray spectra- bremsstrahlung and characteristic x-rays

    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...

    Graduate Dirac Delta Function vs probability distribution

    Hello, Can someone please explain to me how to do the following: 2/a * integrate sin^2(n*pi*x/a)*delta(x-a/2)dx from 0 to a. The delta function is defined for the limit -infinity to infinity, right? How do I do this one? The limits of integration in this case is what I'm finding...
