Copper K-alpha radiation

Copper K-alpha radiation is a specific type of X-ray emitted when electrons inside a copper atom transition from a higher energy level to a lower one, releasing energy in the form of X-rays. It is characterized by a precise wavelength, commonly used in X-ray imaging and material analysis because of its consistency and effectiveness in revealing structural details. This radiation has enough energy to penetrate materials but is carefully controlled to prevent harm, making it valuable in medical diagnostics, scientific research, and industrial inspections.
