X- rays used to expel tightly held electrons from the inner
orbitals of the atom. The removal of an electron in this way
makes the electronic structure of the atom unstable, and
electrons in higher orbitals ?fall? into the lower orbital to fill the
hole left behind.
Each of these transitions yields a fluorescent photon with a
characteristic radiation equal to the difference in energy of the
initial and final orbital. The fluorescent radiation is then
analyzed by separating the characteristic wavelengths
(qualitative) and detecting intensity of each characteristic
radiation (quantitive).
