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.
II. The high voltage current supply heat the filament cathode (to emit electrons at high acceleration).
III. Electrons emitted are accelerated towards a metal target.
