GRADED A+ LATEST UPDATE.
The energy of the characteristic x-ray photon depends on ANS >>
1) the shell of the electron that is dropping into the vacancy
2) the energy level of the filament electron
3) the binding energy of the inner-shell electron
X-rays are produced by ANS >> characteristic and bremsstrahlung
interactions
When filament electrons enter the anode target, they interact
with ANS >> outer shell electrons of tungsten atoms
When a filament electron knocks out a K-shell electron from the
tungsten atom, it leads to ANS >> a characteristic x-ray photon
