What is the difference between bremsstrahlung and characteristic radiation?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
Bremstrahlung is German for "braking radiation." It refers to radiation that is associated with the positive or negative acceleration of charged particles. The energy of the emitted photon equals the loss of kinetic energy of the particle. Characteristic radiation refers to groups of discrete wavelengths characteristic of the emitting element.

∙ 10y agoBremsstrahlung, meaning braking radiation in German, is a type of secondary radiation. It is radiation given off by a charged particle, usually an electron. It is also sometimes called free-free radiation as it has a continuous spectrum.

What is the difference between Ray's and Radiation's?
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
What is the difference between energy and radiation?
radiation is energy just one particular form of.
What Is the difference between all incoming radiation and all outgoing radiation?

What determines the difference between types of electromagnetic radiation?
The wavelength
What is the difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound?
The difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound is how they react when inside the body. Ultraviolet radiation attacks the cells and destroys cells that are harmful to the body. Ultrasound is merely a viewing device. Ultrasound is used to detect abnormalities in the body.
Are Beta particles are electrons that originate in the nucleus?
The primary difference between gamma-rays and x-rays is that gamma-rays originate in , while x-rays are created either by transitions between energy states of orbital electrons or as bremsstrahlung radiation.

Is there a difference between background radiation and background count rate?
There is a subtle difference. Background count rate is the measure of how strong the background radiation is.
What determines the difference between types of electromagnetic radiation?
The wavelength

What is the principal difference between a light and X-rays waves?
The main difference between light and x-rays is that x-rays are radiation.
