I 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 !

Hello, I'm joining this forum to ask two questions which have nagged me for some time. I am in no way trolling. They both are presumed obvious, yet don't make sense to me. Nobody will explain their positions, which is...uh...aka science. I also have a thread for the other question. Yes, I'm questioning the most elementary physics question we're given in this world. The classic elevator in motion question: A person is standing on a scale in an elevator that is in constant motion...
