    How do electrons in tungsten atoms produce X-rays?

    So if an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it too must leave behind a vacancy. Do transitions continue to occur to fill the new vacancies? And if so, does a free electron fill the last vacancy? If that were to be the case I would imagine the atom remains...

    How do electrons in tungsten atoms produce X-rays?

    Hi Everyone, I'm writing a research paper on the role electron transitions play in producing X-rays and there are some points I am having a tough time clearing up. When the the cathode fires electrons at high velocity towards a tungsten anode, I understand that a series of events may take...
