Question
Answer
This is caused by a high-speed electron redirecting and losing energy   Bremsstrahlung x-rays  
🗑
A K shell electron is ejected and an L shell electron moves to fill the vacancy   characteristic x-rays  
🗑
In diagnostic range,contributes to patient dose, and releases characteristic x-rays   photoelectric effect  
🗑
more prevalent in higher energy ranges and contributes to occupational dose   compton scatter  
🗑
outside diagnostic range, 2 particles- an electron and positron result   pair production  
🗑
a smaller anode angle gives a smaller   effective focal spot  
🗑
change mechanical energy to electrical energy   generators  
🗑
has one winding and operates on self-induction   autotransformer  
🗑
more windings on the secondary coil   step-up transformer  
🗑
a single phase half wave generator has what % of voltage ripple   100%  
🗑
a three-phase twelve pulse generator has what % of voltage ripple   4%  
🗑
the input phosphor converts what to what   x-rays to light  
🗑
boiling off off of electrons when the filament is heated   thermionic emission  
🗑
the output phosphor converts what to what   electrons to light  
🗑
the effective focal spot is always smaller than the actual focal spot according to what priciple   line focus principle  
🗑
functions to automatically adjust for any fluctuations in incoming voltage   line voltage compensator  
🗑
the mA meter is found in what circuit   secondary/high-voltage circuit  
🗑
the mA selector is found in what circuit   filament circuit  
🗑
a synchronous spinning-top test is used to test timer accuracy in what kind of equipment   three phase  
🗑
QA term describing the same radiation output for different stations/combos   reciprocity  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
