The waves emitted when a metal target is bombarded with high energy electrons are
Solution
<p>When a metal target is bombarded with high-energy electrons, the phenomenon known as X-ray emission occurs. This is due to the excitation of the inner-shell electrons in the metal atoms by the high-energy electrons. When these inner-shell electrons drop back to their original energy levels, they emit energy in the form of X-ray photons.</p>
