Which interaction results from a high-speed electron knocking out an inner-shell electron, an outer-shell electron falling into the inner shell vacancy, and an x-ray photon being emitted?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This interaction is known as characteristic radiation, in which a high-speed electron knocks out an inner-shell electron, and an outer-shell electron falls into the inner-shell vacancy, emitting an x-ray photon with an energy characteristic of the atomic structure of the material involved.
