QuestionAnswer
x = Energy or keV
y = Number or quantity of x-rays
What is the Shape of the Bremsstrahlung Graph? Continuous curve with peak at about 1/3 of selected kVp
What is the Shape of the Characteristic Graph? Discrete line at 57.4 keV
As Current increases, what happens to the quantity of x-rays? Increases (Graphs Shift Up)
As Current increases, what happens to the energy of the x-rays? No Change
As Voltage increases, what happens to the quantity of x-rays? Increases Slightly (Graphs Shift Up)
As Voltage increases, what happens to the energy of the x-rays? Brems Increases (The Bremms graph shifts right)
As Filtration increases, what happens to the quantity of x-rays? Decreases Slightly (Graphs Shift Down)
As Filtration increases, what happens to the energy of the x-rays? Brems Average Increases (The Brems peak shifts right)
As atomic number increases, what happens to the quantity of x-rays? Increases (Graphs Shift Up)
As atomic number increases, what happens to the energy of the x-rays? Characteristic Binding Energy Increases (The Characteristic graph shifts right)
Characteristic x-rays are 57.4 only because of _______ Tungsten
As generator efficiency increases, what happens to the quantity of x-rays? Increases (Graphs Shift Up)
As generator efficiency increases, what happens to the energy of the x-rays? Brems Average Increases (The Brems peak shifts right)
What is a voltage waveform? A graph that shows how voltage changes over time
What is on the x axis of a voltage waveform graph? Time
What is on the y axis of a voltage waveform graph? Voltage
The AC Voltage Waveform is created by a _______ Single Wave, No Pulse AC Generator
One pair of rectifiers create ______ 1 Pulse
1 set of rectifiers makes ________ Negative Voltage Zero
______ is created by a single phase (one wave), single pulse (one set of rectifiers) generator Half Wave Rectification
2 sets of rectifiers makes _____ The negative voltage zero and then increases the zero voltage to the Original Voltage
______ is created by a single phase (one wave), two pulse (2 sets of rectifiers) generator Full Wave Rectification
What is a Phase? A repeat of the same wave, but starting at a different time
A ______ puts the waves out of sync with each other Phase
The electron will always follow the path of the _______ (Think of it like playing tug of war) Highest Voltage
Any ______ generator will have 100% ripple Single Phase
When the voltage fluctuates from the _______ back to zero, this is 50% ripple Max Halfway
When the voltage fluctuates from the ________ this is 100% ripple Max all the way back to Zero
The fluctuation of voltage is called ______ Ripple
________ occurs during Half Wave Rectification The negative voltage was blocked – it became zero
________ occurs during Full Wave Rectification The negative voltage was not just blocked – it was increased to the original voltage

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
