The characteristic X-rays are formed due to the bombardment of _.
Correct answer: C. Electron
- A. Photon
- B. Proton
- C. Electron
- D. None of these
Explanation
This option is correct because x- rays are produced by bombarding electrons on the anode, in which the collision of the electron causes sudden deceleration of the electron. As a result special wavelengths of photons are released named x-rays.

About Atomic Spectra
Atoms emit or absorb light at specific wavelengths because electrons occupy quantized energy levels and change levels by absorbing or releasing photons. The topic covers emission and absorption spectra, spectral series, hydrogen’s line spectrum, energy-level transitions, and the relation between wavelength, frequency and photon energy.
