RANZCR AIT Practice Questions - RANZCR Clinical Radiology Phase 1 - Applied Imaging Technology (AIT) Exam

A tungsten X-ray tube target produces characteristic K-shell radiation. This occurs because:

An incident electron decelerates gradually in the nuclear field An incident electron ejects a K-shell electron and an outer-shell electron fills the vacancy, releasing energy equal to the binding energy difference The anode surface melts and re-emits thermal photons Photons undergo Compton scattering within the target

Correct Answer:

An incident electron ejects a K-shell electron and an outer-shell electron fills the vacancy, releasing energy equal to the binding energy difference
