bremsstrahlung is german and translates as breaking or slowing down rapidly.
bremsstrahlung radiation is the electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle slows rapidly.
Plexiglas and lead are frequently used.
I am not sure what "Z" refers to. In any case, I don't think you have enough information if you only know Z and a mass.The calculation for the power of Bremsstrahlung can be found in the Wikipedia article, under "Larmar Formula". It seems that you need some additional information, such as the acceleration.
Yes, hydrogen can emit X-rays through processes such as bremsstrahlung radiation when high-energy electrons interact with atomic nuclei. This emission can occur in various environments such as in astrophysical settings or in laboratory experiments involving high-energy interactions.
No, radiation does not rise. Radiation can travel in all directions from its source, with its behavior dependent on the type of radiation and the surrounding environment.

Bremsstrahlung radiation is produced when a charged particle is decelerated, emitting a continuous spectrum of X-rays. Characteristic radiation, on the other hand, is generated when an electron transitions to a lower energy level, emitting X-rays at specific energies unique to the material. Bremsstrahlung radiation has a continuous spectrum, while characteristic radiation has distinct peaks at specific energies.
Bremsstrahlung (Braking) radiation
Characteristic radiation and bremsstrahlung radiation are two types of X-ray emissions produced in different ways. Characteristic radiation is emitted when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level within an atom. This type of radiation has specific energies that are characteristic of the elements involved. On the other hand, bremsstrahlung radiation is produced when a high-speed electron is slowed down or deflected by the electric field of an atomic nucleus. This results in the emission of X-rays with a continuous spectrum of energies. In terms of effects, characteristic radiation is used in X-ray spectroscopy to identify elements present in a sample, while bremsstrahlung radiation is commonly used in medical imaging for diagnostic purposes due to its ability to penetrate tissues.
Bremsstrahlung, rather simplified, is electomagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic nucleus.
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.

Yes, electrons can emit radiation when they are accelerated or decelerated. This radiation is called bremsstrahlung, which occurs when electrons interact with matter and release energy in the form of X-rays.
D. H. Rester has written: 'An experimental study for electron transmission and bremsstrahlung production' -- subject(s): Bremsstrahlung, Electrons, Scattering
X-ray radiation is produced when high-energy electrons collide with a target material, which causes the electrons to release energy in the form of X-ray photons. This process, known as Bremsstrahlung radiation, occurs in X-ray machines and other devices designed to generate X-rays for medical imaging or other applications.
To minimize bremsstrahlung production, one can decrease the atomic number of the target material, reduce the energy of the incident particles, and increase the angle at which the particles are deflected. Additionally, using high-Z materials with lower electron binding energies can help reduce bremsstrahlung production.
Plexiglas and lead are frequently used.
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.
