Important Questions on Producing X-rays and its Interaction with Matter
Explain of mode of production continuous x-rays.

Sharpness of an X-ray image depends on the distance between the X-ray source and the recording surface which is the film (larger the distance lesser the unsharpness).

State three factors that affect the sharpness of X-rays ?

Image intensifiers are utilised to convert low energy x-radiation into visible light images.

Define Image intensifier.

Half thickness is expressed in units of time.

Define Half thickness.

Absorption of X-ray follows exponential pattern.

Define X-ray attenuation .

What is the full form of CT scan, Whether it is Computed Tomographic Scan or Computer Tomographic Scan?

The element which has a -rays line of wavelength is and

If (nical) is used as target material, then is minimum wavelength produced in -ray tube and is the wavelength of line. If the operating tube voltage is increased and (calsium) is used as target material in place of then the difference will :

Electrons with de-Broglie wavelength fall on the target in an X-ray tube. The cut-off wavelength of the emitted X-rays is

Electrons of mass with de Broglie wavelength fall on the target in an -ray tube. The cut-off wavelength of the emitted -ray is

The speed of the colliding electron is increased in an -ray tube, then

In a coolidge tube, the potential difference used to accelerate the electrons is increased from to As a result the difference between and increases three fold. The wavelength of line is -

According to Mosley's law of characteristic ray. Which of the following is correct?

In intensity verus wavelength graph, which of the following process is responsible for the intensity of peaks $P_{1}$ and $P_{2} ?$

When the voltage applied to an -ray tube is increased from to , the wavelength interval between the line and the short wave cut off of the continuous -ray spectrum increases by a factor . Find the atomic number of the element of which the tube anti cathode is made. (Rydberg’s constant ).

Let and denote the wavelengths of the X-rays of the and lines in the characteristic X-rays for a metal. Then,
