Formula of Kinetic Energy

Which is not part of the three effects of projectile electron?

• The electron transition to the K shell

• The formation of bremsstrahlung x-rays

• The production of heat

• The formation of characteristics x-rays

Reason: constant excitation & return of outer-shell electrons

• Characteristic Radiation

• Efficiency of X-ray Production

• Anode Heat

• Bremsstrahlung Radiation

Increase directly with increasing x-ray tube current & kVp.

• Characteristic Radiation

• Efficiency of X-ray Production

• Anode Heat

• Bremsstrahlung Radiation

It is independent of the tube current.

• Characteristic Radiation

• Efficiency of X-ray Production

• Anode Heat

• Bremsstrahlung Radiation

It increases with increasing kVp.

• Characteristic Radiation

• Efficiency of X-ray Production

• Anode Heat

• Bremsstrahlung Radiation

It is emitted when an outer-shell electron fills an inner-shell void.
