Cerenkov radiation
scroll
Light with a maximum of intensity in the blue spectral
region, created when charged particles move in a translucent medium
at a speed v, this being greater than the speed of light in this medium
(v > c0/n, c0 = speed of light in a vacuum,
n = refractive index). The threshold energy for the occurrence of Cerenkov
radiation for electron radiation in water (n = 1.33) amounts to 260
keV.
