What is x ray orbits?

X-ray orbits refer to the path followed by an X-ray photon as it moves through a medium. When an X-ray photon interacts with atoms in a material, it may be absorbed, scattered, or pass through the material without interacting. If it is absorbed, it can be re-emitted or cause ionization or excitation of the atoms. X-ray absorption and scattering can provide information about the structure and composition of the material. The type of X-ray orbit (e.g., Rayleigh, Compton, or photoelectric) depends on the energy of the X-ray photon and the properties of the material. X-ray orbits are important in medical imaging, materials science, and astronomy.
