1) An energetic electron strikes a target atom and knocks out one of its deep-seated electrons and left a hole.
Chapter 48 Atomic Structure
2) One of the outer electrons moves in to fill this hole and, in the process, the atom emits a characteristic x-ray photon.

48-2 X Rays and the Numbering of the Elements From the time of Mendeleev (1834-1907) the elements were listed in the periodic table in the order of increasing atomic weight. However, one difficulty still exists, that is, in several cases, the strict order of increasing atomic weights had to be reversed to maintain the similarity of chemical properties in the vertical columns of the table. For example:

An electron in outside shell can transit to deep levels in many electron atom.

K : L K K : M K
L shell transit to K shell, leaves a hole in L shell, and fills by further outer electron.
K, L, M…are labeled the principle shells of electrons.

The Continuous X-ray Spectrum (bremsstrahlung) Continuous spectrum is due to the loss of kinetic energy of incident electrons. The kinetic energy transfers to radiation, photons. The minimum λmin corresponds to the loss of all incident energy . It is independent of materials.

48-1 The X-Ray Spectrum of Atoms X rays are produced when rapidly moving electrons that have been accelerated through a potential difference of the order of 103 to 105V strike a metal target. The binding energy in the innermost shell is higher than that in outside shell. For example, outside 5eV, innermost 70keV. So the electrons may strike the target with enough energy to knock electrons out of the inner shells of the target atoms.

In 1913 The British physicist H. G. J. Moseley first introduced the concept of atomic number (symbol Z) and showed that these difficulties were removed if the periodic table was organized in order of increasing Z. In experiments Moseley found that for a given x-ray spectrum line such as Kα, the square root of its frequency against the position of the associated element in the periodic table, a straight line resulted.
