Question 17

Which of the following are true regarding the production of X-ray photons when using a tungsten target?

The majority of X-rays emitted are a result of characteristic radiation

The kinetic energy of electrons (keV) interacting with the target is equal to the kV between the anode and cathode of the X-ray tube

Filament electrons with 90 keV can dislodge K-shell electrons in the target

The energy of Kα radiation is greater than Kβ radiation

L-shell radiation makes up 25% of characteristic radiation emitted from the tube
