Abstract
In the previous article, we discussed how photons are produced in the hydrogen emission spectrum and showed that a photon in the hydrogen spectrum is generated by the oscillation of an electron in the Luminiferous aether and that a photon is an electromagnetic pulse, not an electromagnetic wave. It is likely that other photons are produced in the same way as hydrogen photons, and X-ray photons are no exception. In this article, we will examine how X-rays are generated in an atom and the reason for generation of diffraction pattern from a thin metal film.
