Detailed Solution

  • When cathode rays strike a metal target of high melting point with a very high velocity, then X-rays  are produced.
  • When cathode rays (electrons, having high velocity) strike a metal target of high melting point , they knock out inner electrons of the atoms of the target material. 
  • To fill up this vacancy, electrons from higher energy level make transition to lower level resulting in emission of radiation. 
  • If target material has very high atomic number, then the emitted radiation is X-ray.
