What types of X-ray spectrometers are there
When an electron from the inner shell of an atom is excited by the energy of a photon, it moves to a higher energy level. When it returns to the low energy level, the energy it previously gained by excitation is emitted as a photon of one of the wavelengths uniquely characteristic of the element. X-ray spectroscopy is a general term for several spectroscopic techniques for characterization of materials by using x-ray radiation. Here's a summary of some of the most common and widely used types of spectroscopy: Different types of spectroscopy focus on the. 01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz) and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV, produced by the deceleration of high-energy electrons.
