    X-rays can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including cancer. X-rays are produced by the bremsstrahlung effect and Fluorescence X. The free electron collides with the tungsten atom, x rays knock an electron out of a lower orbital, releasing its excess energy.

    - Bremsstralhung effect:

    Bremsstahlung radiation is
    produced when high energy
    electrons are progressively
    decelerated by the material
