Hi Group
I have a question about x-ray spectra.
If we look at a spectrum from a typical x-ray tube with a wolfram-74 anode, we get a spectrum http://ie.lbl.gov/xray/w.htm with two lines resulting from K-shell ionisation.
Question : Why is it (mostly) the electrons from the K-shell that are being "kicked" out ?
Why is the chance of kicking those out bigger ?
- or what determinates the chance of all 74 possible ionisations ?
