X-Ray spectrum of
Molybdenum is obtained when
Molybdenum is used as target
metal.
K and K are characteristic
of an element.
For Molybdenum K occurs at
wave length of about 0.07nm.
Electrons of n=1 shell of
target metal are knocked out
by bombarding electrons.
Electrons of higher level drop
down by releasing energy to
replace lost electrons
