Kramer's Law defines the spectrum of Bremsstrahlung radiation emitted by charged particles, particularly electrons, when they are decelerated in the vicinity of atomic nuclei. The theoretical basis for the shape of this spectrum is rooted in the assumptions about the energy distribution of the incident electrons, which are typically modeled using a Gaussian distribution. This law is crucial for understanding the interactions between high-energy electrons and matter, particularly in fields such as medical physics and radiation therapy.
