LMRT core assessment questions with correct answers

X-rays are produced by: CORRECT ANSWER characteristic and bremsstrahlung interactions When filament electrons enter the anode target, they interact with: CORRECT ANSWER Outer shell electrons of tungsten atoms When a filament electron knocks out a K shell electron from the tungsten atom, it leads to: CORRECT ANSWER A characteristic x-ray photon The energy of the characteristic x-ray photon depends on: a.) the binding energy of the inner-shell electron b.) the energy level of the filament electron c.) the shell of the electron that is dropping into the vacancy d.) all of these CORRECT ANSWER d.) all of these A filament electron removes a K shell electron and an M shell electron fills the vacancy. The k shell binding energy is 69.5 keV and the M shell binding energy is 2.8 keV. What is the energy of the K-characteristic photon produced? CORRECT ANSWER 66.7 keV Bremsstrahlung means: CORRECT ANSWER braking radiation The energy of the brems photon depends on: a.) The original energy of the filament electron b.) The strength of the attraction betwe
