DISCOVERY OF PRODUCTION OF
X-RAY
In 1895, he discovered that when electrons were accelerated by a high voltage in
a vacuum tube and allowed to strike a glass or metal surface inside the tube,
fluorescent minerals some distance away would glow and photographic film would
become exposed.
These effects produced a new type of radiation which was called as x-rays.
His earliest photographic plate from his experiments was a film of his wife,
Bertha's hand with a ring, was produced on Friday, November 8, 1895.
The production of x-rays today is done in a tube using voltages of typically 30
kV to 150kV.

DISCOVERY OF PRODUCTION OF
X-RAY
When charged particles collide, they produce bundles of energy called photons
that fly away from the scene of the accident at the speed of light.
Since electrons are the lightest known charged particle, they are most fidgety, so
they are responsible for most of the photons produced in the universe.
Energies of X-ray photons range from hundreds to thousands of times higher
than that of optical photons.
Optical photons is the only photons perceived by the human eye.
DISCOVERY OF PRODUCTION OF
X-RAY
Speed of the particles when they collide or vibrate sets a limit on the energy of
the photon.
Speed is also a measure of temperature.
On a hot day, the particles in the air are moving faster than on a cold day.
At very high temperatures (millions of degrees Celsius) produce X-rays.

electrons accelerated from the cathode filament, two types of
X-ray spectra are produced.
X-ray spectra are produced.
CONTINUOUS & CHARACTERISTIC
OF X-RAY SPECTRA
The continuous spectra consists of a range of wavelengths of X-rays with
minimum wavelength and intensity (measured in counts per second) dependent on
the target material and the voltage across the X-ray tube.
Minimum wavelength decreases and the intensity increases as voltage increases.
The second type of spectra, called the characteristic spectra, is produced at high
voltage as a result of specific electronic transitions that take place within individual
atoms of the target material.
CONTINUOUS & CHARACTERISTIC
OF X-RAY SPECTRA
CONTINUOUS & CHARACTERISTIC
OF X-RAY SPECTRA
The easiest  to see using the simple Bohr model of the atom.
In such a model, the nucleus of the atom containing the protons and neutrons is
surrounded by shells of electrons.
The innermost shell, called the K- shell, is surrounded by the L- and M - shells.
When the energy of the electrons accelerated toward the target becomes high
enough to dislodge K- shell electrons, electrons from the L - and M - shells move
in to take the place of those dislodged.
CONTINUOUS & CHARACTERISTIC
OF X-RAY SPECTRA
CONTINUOUS & CHARACTERISTIC
OF X-RAY SPECTRA
Each of these electronic transitions produces an X-ray with a wavelength that
depends on the exact structure of the atom being bombarded.
A transition from the L - shell to the K- shell produces a Kα X-ray, while the
transition from an M - shell to the K- shell produces a K β X-ray.
These characteristic X-rays have a much higher intensity than those produced by
the continuous spectra, with Kα X-rays having higher intensity than Kβ X-rays.

The wavelength of these characteristic x-rays is different for each atom in the
periodic table (of course only those elements with higher atomic number have Land M - shell electrons that can undergo transitions to produce X-rays).
A filter is generally used to filter out the lower intensity K β X-rays. 
DIFFRACTION OF X-RAY

OF
DIFFRACTION
DIFFRACTION
The light bends around objects it passes and spreads out after
passing through narrow slits. It gives diffraction patterns due to
interference between rays of light that travel different distances.
DIFFRACTION OF X-RAY
CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE

Since a beam of X-rays consists of a bundle of separate waves, the waves
can interact with one another. If all the waves in the bundle are in phase,
that is their crests and troughs occur at exactly the same position (the same
as being an integer number of wavelengths out of phase, nλ, n = 1, 2, 3, 4,
etc.), the waves will interfere with one another and their amplitudes will
add together to produce a resultant wave that is has a higher amplitude (the
sum of all the waves that are in phase.
DIFFRACTION OF X-RAY
DIFFRACTION OF X-RAY
DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE

If the waves are out of phase, being off by a non-integer number of
wavelengths, then destructive interference will occur and the amplitude
of the waves will be reduced. In an extreme case, if the waves are out of
phase by an odd multiple of 1/2l [(2n+1)/2l ], the resultant wave will
have no amplitude and thus be completely destroyed.
DIFFRACTION OF X-RAY
DIFFRACTION OF X-RAY
The atoms in crystals interact with X-ray waves in such a way as to produce
interference.
The interaction can be thought of as if the atoms in a crystal structure reflect the
waves.
But, because a crystal structure consists of an orderly arrangement of atoms, the
reflections occur from what appears to be planes of atoms.
DIFFRACTION OF X-RAY

X-rays can be diffracted from many possible planes within aacrystal
X-rays can be diffracted from many possible planes within crystal
BRAGG’S LAW
How it happens ??
Lets  imagine a beam of X-rays entering a crystal with one of these planes of
atoms oriented at an angle of θ to the incoming beam of monochromatic X-rays.
Two such X-rays are shown here, where the spacing between the atomic planes
occurs over the distance, d.
Ray 1 reflects off of the upper atomic plane at an angle θ equal to its angle of
incidence.
Similarly, Ray 2 reflects off the lower atomic plane at the same angle θ.
BRAGG’S LAW
BRAGG’S LAW
While Ray 2 is in the crystal, however, it travels a distance of 2a farther than
Ray 1.
If this distance 2a is equal to an integral number of wavelengths (nλ), then Rays
1 and 2 will be in phase on their exit from the crystal and constructive interference
will occur.
BRAGG’S LAW
How to prove ??
If the distance 2a is not an integral number of wavelengths, then destructive
interference will occur and the waves will not be as strong as when they entered the
crystal.
Thus, the condition for constructive interference to occur is

nλ = 2a
nλ = 2a
BRAGG’S LAW
But  from trigonometry, we can figure out what the distance 2a is in terms of the
spacing, d, between the atomic planes.

a = d sin θ
a = d sin θ
or 2a = 2 d sin θ
or 2a = 2 d sin θ
nλ = 2d sin θ
nλ = 2d sin θ
