Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bremsstrahlung radiation results from the deceleration of electrons as they pass near the nucleus of an atom, interacting with the nuclear force field. This interaction causes the electron to lose energy, which is emitted as X-ray photons, a form of electromagnetic energy.
