COMPLETE ANSWERS 100% CORRECT (LATEST 2024 / 2025 )
1. Most X-ray tubes in use today have high speed rotation at: 10,000 rpm
2. The is used to rotate the anode: Electromagnetic induction motor
3. The process of changing Alternating Current (AC) into Direct Current(DC): Rectification
4. Above 70 kVp, about 15% of the beam is?: Characteristic
5. The German word that means braking and slowing?: Bremsstrahlung
6. Every x-ray exposure will contain photons produced from bremsstrahlunginteractions
Below 70 kVp, about what percentage is the beam is brems?: 100%
7. Every x-ray exposure will contain photons produced from bremsstrahlunginteractions
Above 70 kVp, about what percentage is the beam is brems?: 85%
8. For Characteristic radiation to be created Above 70 kVp, about what per-centage of the
beam is characteristic?: 15%
9. Created when an incoming electron interacts with the k-shell electron andknocks it out of
its orbit. When the electron void is filled with an outer shell electron an x-ray photon is
created
this is?: Characteristic radiation

16. A "unseen image" is called?: Latent image
17. The absorption of an x-ray beam is called?
(the patient is the primary source of scatter): Attenuation
