LRA 211 Week 2 Quiz Questions with Answers

X-rays are produced by Characteristic and bremsstrahlung interactions When filament electrons enter the anode target, they mostly interact with Outer shell electrons of tungsten atoms When a filament electron knocks out a K shell electron from the tungsten atom, it leads to A characteristic x-ray photon The energy of the characteristics x-ray photon depends on All of the Above (The binding energy of the binding shell electron, the energy level of the filament electron, and the shell of the electron that is dropping into the vacancy) 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? 66.7 keV Bremsstrahlung means Breaking radiation The energy of the brems photon depends on All answer choices are correct (The energy of the filament electron as it leaves the tungsten atom, the strength of the attraction between the electron and the nucleus, the original energy of the filament electron)
