| Projectile e- needs a minimum of _______ to produce characteristic radiation | 70 kVp |
| Brems X-Rays have a _______ range | 20 – 150 kVp |
| kVp set between 70-100 will result in ______ of the beam being characteristic x-rays | 15% |
| More than 70 kV means that _____ of x-ray beam is Bremmstrahlung | 85% |

| Discrete radiation energies of 17 and 19 keV | Molybdenum |
| Discrete radiation energies of 58 and 67 keV | Tungsten |
| Less Ripple results in | More x-ray’s w/ higher energy |
| ________ is Controlled by the kVp Setting | Beam Quality |
| ______ is Controlled by the mA setting | Beam Quantity |
