The document discusses x-rays and their production and spectra. It begins by defining x-rays as electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than UV produced when high-energy electrons bombard atoms. It then discusses how x-rays are produced in an x-ray tube through two mechanisms: characteristic x-rays produced via electron transitions in atoms, and continuous x-rays produced when electrons are decelerated. The document outlines the key components of an x-ray tube and the factors that influence x-ray spectra such as voltage, current and target material. It also compares x-ray emission spectra to optical atomic emission spectra.

Essential training
When the energy of the accelerated electrons is higher than a certain threshold value (which depends on the metal anode), a second type of spectrum is obtained superimposed on top of the white radiation. It is called the characteristic radiation and is composed of discrete peaks.
The energy (and wavelength) of the peaks depends solely on the metal used for the target and is due to the ejection of an electron from one of the inner electron shells of the metal atom.
This results in an electron from a higher atomic level dropping to the vacant level with the emission of an X-ray photon characterised by the difference in energy between the two levels.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

6.1 X-ray spectra
6.1.1 Properties of x-rays
Its properties are
x-rays travel in a straight lines at the speed of light.
x-rays cannot be deflected by electric or magnetic fields.
(This is convincing evidence that they are uncharged or
neutral particles)
x-rays can be diffracted by the crystal lattice if the spacing
between two consecutive planes of atoms approximately
equal to its wavelength.
x-rays affect photographic film.
x-rays can produce fluorescence and photoelectric
emission.
x-rays penetrate matter. Penetration power is least in the
materials of high density.

material of lower ionization energy.
a target (anode) made from a heavy metal of high
melting point such as tungsten and molybdenum.
a cooling system that is used to prevent the target
(anode) from melting.
a high voltage source that is used to set the anode at a
large positive potential compare to the filament.
When a filament (cathode) is heated by the current supplied to
it (filament current If), many electrons are emitted by
thermionic emission (is defined as the emission of electrons
from a heated conductor).
These electrons are accelerated towards a target, which is
maintained at a high positive voltage relative to cathode.
The high speed electrons strike the target and rapidly
decelerated on impact, suddenly the x-rays are emitted.

6. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS
PHY310 X-RAY
X-rays emission can be considered as the reverse of the
photoelectric effect. In the photoelectric effect, EM radiation
incident on a target causes the emission of electrons but in
an x-ray tube, electrons incident on a target cause the
emission of EM radiation (x-rays).
The radiation produced by the x-ray tube is created by two
completely difference physical mechanisms refer to:
characteristic x-rays
continuous x-rays (called bremsstrahlung in german
which is braking radiation).
Characteristic x-rays
The electrons which bombard the target are very energetic
and are capable of knock out the inner shell electrons from
the target atom, creating the inner shell vacancies.
When these are refilled by electrons from the outer shells,
the electrons making a transition from any one of the outer
shells (higher energy level) to the inner shell (lower energy
level) vacancies and emit the characteristic x-rays.

The energy of the characteristic x-rays is given by

(6.1)
Since the energy of characteristic x-rays equal to the difference
of the two energies level, thus its energy is discrete . Then its
frequency and wavelength also discrete.

Continuous x-rays (Bremsstrahlung)
Some of high speed electrons which bombard the target
undergo a rapid deceleration. This is braking.
As the electrons suddenly come to rest in the target, a part
or all of their kinetic energies are converted into energy of
EM radiation immediately called Bresmsstrahlung, that is

energy of the bombarding electrons increases and therefore makes

At low applied voltage across the tube, only a continuous
spectrum of radiation exists. As the applied voltage
increases, groups of sharp peaks superimposed on the
continuous radiation begin to appear. These peaks are lines
spectra (characteristic lines) where it is depend on the target
material.
Characteristic lines
The characteristic lines are the result of electrons transition
within the atoms of the target material due to the production of
characteristic x-rays (section 6.1.2).
There are several types of characteristic lines series:
K lines series is defined as the line spectra produced
due to electron transition from outer shell to K shell
vacancy.

These characteristic lines is the property of the target material
i.e. for difference material the wavelengths of the
characteristic lines are different.
Note that the wavelengths of the characteristic lines does not
changes when the applied voltage across x-ray tube changes.
Continuous (background) spectrum
The continuous spectrum is produced by electrons colliding with
the target and being decelerated due to the production of
continuous x-rays in section 6.1.2.
According to the x-ray spectra (Figure 6.3), the continuous
spectrum has a minimum wavelength.
The existence of the minimum wavelength is due to the
emission of the most energetic photon where the kinetic
energy of an electron accelerated through the x-ray tube is
completely converted into the photon energy . This happens
when the electron colliding with the target is decelerated and
stopped in a single collision.

If the electron is accelerated through a voltage V, the kinetic
energy of the electron is

From the eq. (6.4), the minimum wavelength depends on the

6.1.4 Penetrating power (quality) of x-rays
The strength of the x-rays are determined by their penetrating
power.
The penetrating power depends on the wavelength of the xrays where if their wavelength are short then the penetrating
power is high or vice versa.

6.1.6 Difference between x-ray emission spectra
and optical atomic emission spectra
is from the production aspect as shown in Table 6.2.
X-ray spectra
Optical atomic spectra
is produced when the
inner-most shell electron
knocked out and left
vacancy. This vacancy is
filled by electron from
outer shells.
The electron transition
from outer shells to inner
shell vacancy emits
energy of x-rays and
produced x-ray spectra.
is produced when the
electron from ground
state rises to the excited
state.
After that, the electron
return to the ground state
and emits energy of EM
radiation whose produced

6.2 Moseley’s law
In 1913, Henry G.J. Moseley studies on the characteristic x-ray
spectra for various target elements using the x-ray diffraction
technique.
He found that the K frequency line in the x-ray spectra from a
particular target element is varied smoothly with that element’s
atomic number Z as shown in Figure 6.8.

From the Figure 6.8, Moseley states that the frequency of K
characteristic lines is proportional to the squared of atomic
number for the target element and could be expressed as

where

f K : frequency of the K line;

Eq. (6.5) is known as Moseley’s law.
Moseley’s law is considerable importance in the development
of early quantum theory and the arrangement of modern
periodic table of element (Moseley suggested the
arrangement of the elements according to their atomic number,
Z).

where
d : separationbetween atomicplanes

diffraction angle)

Note:
The number of diffraction order n depends on the glancing angle
where if is increased then n also increased.
The number of diffraction order n is maximum when the glancing
angle =90.
If n =1 1st order bright, the angle 1st order glancing angle
If n =2 2nd order bright, the angle 2nd order glancing angle
6.3.2 Uses of x-rays
In medicine, x-rays are used to diagnose illnesses and for
treatment.
Soft x-rays of low penetrating power are used for x-rays
photography. X-rays penetrate easily soft tissues such as
the flesh, whereas the bones which are high density and
absorb more x-rays. Hence the image of the bones on the
photographic plate is less exposed compared to that of the
soft tissues as shown in Figure 6.10.

Hard x-rays are used in radio therapy for destroying
cancerous cells. It is found that cancerous cells are more
easily damaged by x-rays than stables ones.
In industry : x-rays are used to detect cracks in the interior of
a metal.
X-rays are used to study the structure of crystal by using xray spectrometry since they can be diffracted (Bragg’s law).

same value of wavelengths. That means the target material used
to obtain the curves A and B are the same but the applied
