How to find the angle of emission of an X-ray during impact of accelerated cathode rays?

X rays are produced when accelerated cathode rays strike a metal target or a metal anode. How can we find the angle at which the X-ray is emitted from the metal anode or the target when the cathode ...

How come we can't use the equivalence point equation of NV=NV in this problem?

So, the problem is you prepare to standardize a $\ce{Na2S2O3}$ solution. $\pu{32 mL}$ of $\ce{Na2S2O3}$ solution is titrated into $\pu{50 mL}$ of a $\pu{0.01 M} \ \ce{KIO3}$ solution to reach the ...

Does the object blocking the cathode rays in Thomson's cathode Ray experiment need to be opaque?

Thomson kept an "opaque" object in the cathode ray tube and he saw the shadow of the object.then he decide that the cathode rays follow a rectilinear path. But Thomson also discovered that cathode ...
