The document discusses X-ray production via Bremsstrahlung radiation. Electrons incident on a high-Z target metal are decelerated, causing them to lose kinetic energy which is emitted as electromagnetic radiation. The maximum photon energy hnmax is equal to the incident electron's initial kinetic energy. This process produces a continuous X-ray spectrum. If the target atoms are excited in the process, line spectrum X-rays may also be produced at discrete photon energies.
