Question 3

plot of the frequency with which characteristic x-rays are emitted as a function of their energy

Answer 3

Characteristic X-ray Spectrum

Question 4

discrete energies of characteristic x-rays

Answer 4

binding energy

Question 5

Characteristic x-rays have precisely fixed (discrete) energies and form a discrete emission spectrum.
(no answer)

Answer 5

fixed energies

Question 6

If it were possible to measure the energy contained in each bremsstrahlung x-ray emitted from an x-ray tube, one would find that these energies range from the peak electron energy all the way down to zero.

Answer 6

bremsstrahlung x-ray spectrum

Question 7

Bremsstrahlung x-rays have a range of energies and form a continuous emission spectrum.
(no answer)

Answer 7

range of energies

Question 8

shape of the bremsstrahlung x-ray spectrum

Answer 8

same for all x-ray imaging systems

Question 9

maximum energy (in keV) of a bremsstrahlung x-ray is equal to

Answer 9

kVp

Question 10

number of x-rays emitted decreases rapidly at very low
energies

Answer 10

low energy = low no. of x-ray emitted
