X-rays are produced by the electric field of an atom. This is usually discussed in terms of characteristic X-radiation and bremsstrahlung. Most X-rays in hospital X-ray kit are the latter (the exception is mammography) . Electrons are fired from an electron gun at a tungsten target. When the electrons pass close to a tungsten atom they interact with electric field. This deflects the incoming electrons, slowing them down, reducing their energy. The excess energy is given of as X-rays.

What is the radiation source for microwaves waves?
Microwave frequency radio waves are usually produced by a MAGNETRON.
Energy that travels by waves in all directions from its source is called?
Radiation
Is xray a word?
Yes, XRAY is a company. If you are referring to the electromagnetic radiation, x-ray what you mean.
What is a xray techinician?
An xray technician is commonly referred to as a radtech or radiation technician in a medical setting.
What type of radiation is the sun a source of?
The Sun is a source of all forms of electromagnetic radiation from gamma rays to radio waves. However, the greatest amount of radiation that the Sun produces is visible light.
What other forms of may come from stars?
xray radiation and ultraviolet radiation
True or false radiation travels out in all directions from its source?
True. Radiation is energy that moves in the form of waves or particles and travels outward in all directions from its source.
The radiation emitted from the xray tube and strikes the patient directly is called?
primary radiation
What describes a source of radiation heat?
The sun sending out electromagnetic waves.
Energy that travels in waves in all directions from its source?
This is known as radiation. It can take the form of electromagnetic waves (such as light and heat) or particle radiation (such as alpha, beta, or gamma radiation). Radiation can come from natural sources like the sun or be man-made, as in the case of X-rays and nuclear reactions.
What is the fundamental source of electromagnetic radiation?
The fundamental source of electromagnetic radiation is the acceleration of charged particles. When charged particles are accelerated, they create changing electric and magnetic fields that propagate as waves through space, resulting in electromagnetic radiation.
