ATOMS
This has a positive charge.
What is a Proton?
These energies have both electric and magnetic properties.
What is electromagnetic energy?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
Roentgen discovered x-rays while working with this tube.
What is a Crooke's tube?
What is a photon.
This has a negative charge.
What is an electron.
Electromagnetic energy occurs in this form.
What is a Sine wave?
This is the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This forms the basic structure of the X-ray tube.
What is a Pyrex glass envelope?
This is a German work that means breaking or slowing.
What is Bremsstrahlung?
These are the building blocks of all matter.
What are atoms?
This is the distance between crest to crest.
What is a wavelength?
This energy is released through chemical changes in atoms or molecules.
What is chemical energy?
This is the source of electrons at one end of the tube.
What is a filament?
15% of the xray beam is this above 70 kVp.
What is characteristic radiation?
This represents the atomic number of an element.
What are protons?
This is the distance between crest to trough of a sine wave.
What is amplitude?
The ability of electric charges to do work.
What is electric energy?
This end of the X-ray tube is also referred to as the "target."
What is the anode?
The x-ray beam is made up of many different wavelengths and energies.
What is heterogeneous?
What has an atomic number of 74?
What is tungsten?
Wavelength X Frequency
What is velocity?
This is "stored" energy.
Potential energy
This is referred to as an "electron cloud," where heat speeds up the movement of electrons causing them to move further from the nucleus.
What is thermionic emission?
This occurs when an incoming electron removes an inner orbital electron from the tungsten atom, creating a "hole" in the K-shell and an outer-shell electron drops to fill the hole, and a photon is emitted.
What is the formation of characteristic radiation?
