New cards

Kinetic Energy

Objects in motion have kinetic energy proportional to their mass and the square of their velocity.

2
New cards

KE Formula

KE = 1/2mv^2

3
New cards

1 keV

= 1.6×10^16 J

4
New cards

Increasing kVp

increases both the intensity (quantity) and energy (quality) of the x-ray beam.

5
New cards

approximately half the speed of light

Electrons travel at, when accelerated towards the anode.

6
New cards

Energy Produced

The interaction of electrons with the anode produces thermal energy (heat) and electromagnetic energy (x-rays).

7
New cards

accounting for 99% of the kinetic energy of the electron

Electrons raise the outer shell electrons to a higher energy level, outer shell electrons are simply raised to an excited
