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

AI Thread 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 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
