The continuous part of $X$-ray spectrum is a result of the

A

photoelectric effect

B

raman effect

C

compton effect

D

inverse photoelectric effect

(KVPY-2016)

Solution

$(d)$ Continuous $X$-ray spectrum is produced when an missile electron is scattered from a target atom and energy is released in form of a photon.

So, this is just opposite of photoelectric effect in which a photon releases an clectron.
