Penetrating electromagnetic radiationRadiation from synchro systems and magnetic waves travelling.... X-radiation is generated by slowing-down electrons or heavy charged particles. In an x-ray tube, electrons are accelerated by means of high direct voltage to bombard a metal electrode. The bremsstrahlungElectromagnetic radiation generated when electrically charge... generated is called x-radiation.
