![]() Bremsstrahlung has a continuous spectrum, which becomes more intense and whose peak intensity shifts toward higher frequencies as the change of the energy of the decelerated particles increases. ![]() The term is also used to refer to the process of producing the radiation. The moving particle loses kinetic energy, which is converted into a photon, thus satisfying the law of conservation of energy. Bremsstrahlung (from bremsen “to brake” and Strahlung “radiation” i.e., “braking radiation” or “deceleration radiation”) is electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic nucleus (as depicted in the image above).
