Molybdenum is frequently used as a target (anode) material to
generate x-rays with characteristic wavelengths of Kα = 0.70930 Å,
Kβ = 0.63229 Å.
a. Sketch a schematic diagram of the molybdenum x-ray emission
spectrum. Identify all the main features and briefly explain their
significance.
b. If the voltage (potential difference) accelerating electrons
to the molybdenum target is increased, does this change the
characteristic x-ray emission lines? Justify your answer.
Please state the mechanisms for generating (a)
continuous wavelength and (b) characteristic
wavelength X-rays in a X-ray tube. (c) explain the
reason for the intensity of X-ray spectrum as changes with
acceleration voltage of incident electrons to the metal target.
