Undergrad Question about X-ray power emitted by the Coolidge tube

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a specific equation related to the energy spectrum of X-rays, particularly the variation of power emitted by a Coolidge tube as a function of X-ray energy. The original poster is seeking clarification and additional resources to better understand this theoretical expression. Participants suggest researching Kramers law or Kramers rule for bremsstrahlung as potential sources of information. The conversation emphasizes the need for accessible explanations and references to enhance comprehension of the topic. Overall, the focus is on finding reliable resources for understanding the energy spectrum in X-ray physics.

hello i found this equation in a course about x rays , and i couldn't find it anywhere else
they said that it is the theoretical expression of the energy spectrum , and dφ/dE is variation of the power emitted by the Coolidge tube as a function of the energy of the x ray. but i didn't understand it .
can someone point me to another source, where i can find this expression ?
thanks !

Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'

As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
