RPC FINALS - PART 4

Produces the electrons

• Cathode
• Anode
• Beam
• Screen

Xrays are highly penetrative due to its high energy

• True
• False

Electrons are produces along the vicinity of the filament

• Liberation
• Focusing
• Acceleration
• Deceleration

Electrons are concentrated by the focusing cup

• Focusing
• Acceleration
• Deceleration
• Liberation

electrons are accelerated to the anode due to the strong electrostatic attraction

• Acceleration
• Deceleration
• Liberation
• Focusing

Kinetic energy contained by the electron is diminished and converted into x-rays

• Deceleration
• Liberation
• Focusing
• Acceleration

Increasing the kvp increases the electron kinetic energy

• True
• False

the electrons travelling from the cathode to anode

• Projectile Electron
• Target Excitation
• Characteristic X-rays
• Coherent Scattering

The projectile electron interacts with the target's outer shell electrons. but does not transfer enough energy to ionize the atom

• Target Excitation
• Projectile Electron
• Compton Effect
• 2/3rd rule

Approximate ly 99% of kinetic energy is covnerted into heat, only 1% is used for x-ray production

• True
• False
