Abstract

Data are presented from several systems for which the emitted X-ray intensity goes through a maximum as accelerating voltage is increased. An attempt is made to systematize the data in terms of absorption, wavelength, and atomic number. A very simple model, analyzed graphically, is capable of displaying many of the features of the experimental data.
