thanks guys. I think i got it.

Hang on, if all the electrons in a synchrotron got accelerated in the same condition, doesn't that mean they have the same energy? if so shouldn't they produce photons with the same energy range?

Are you saying that if an electron have enough energy, it can produce a photon with a wide range of spectrum when accelerated? I thought a photon can only have a discrete amount of energy and therefore a specific wavelength.

i am not sure if anyone have asked this question, but can someone explain to me how synchrotron radiation have a wide range of spectrum? I thought that an electron only emit a photon with a spectific range of energy depending on the energy loss.
