Question 46

Which of the following are true with regard to X-ray photon production?

The area of a continuous spectrum graph represents the total output of all X-ray photons emitted as a result of characteristic radiation

Increasing the tube voltage (kV) results in the continuous spectrum shifting to the right and the line spectrum increasing in height

One-quarter of the photons from Bremsstrahlung radiation that reach the patient are less than 20 keV

Increasing the filament voltage causes Bremsstrahlung and characteristic radiation graphs to increase in height

Reducing the filament voltage has no effect on the maximum photon energy produced by characteristic or Bremsstrahlung radiation
