A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Origin, production and properties of X-rays - Bragg’s and Moseley’s Laws and their applications

This topic covers how X-rays are generated, the main properties that make them useful in science, and the laws that describe their interaction with matter and their relation to atomic structure. For exams, you must clearly distinguish continuous and characteristic X-rays, apply Bragg’s law to crystal diffraction, and use Moseley’s law to connect X-ray frequency with atomic number.
