1.

Which of these is NOT true about the x-ray tube for production of x-ray?

a)

a vacuumed glass tube is used to prevent electron from hitting the air molecules.

b)

the cathode consists of heated filament with high ionization energy.

c)

cooling system is required at the anode metal target in order to prevent the metal from melting

d)

the metal target of anode should be metal with high melting point.

2.

Rearrange these statements to describe the production of x-ray:


I. The high speed electrons rapidly decelerated on the impact, and x-rays are emitted.

9.

Select relevant statements to explain why a continuous spectrum of wavelength is produced.

a)

EM radiation is produced whenever a charged particle is accelerated/decelerated.

b)

Wavelength depends on magnitude of acceleration.

c)

Electrons have a distribution of accelerations/decelerations.

d)

EM radiation is produced whenever a charged particles travels at a constant speed.
