TEST N°1 (For Tuesday December 29,

2020) FOR X-RAY
Exercise 1: Complete the schematic

Exercise 2:
You are operating an X-ray tube with a chromium (Cr) target by applying an acceleration
potential (V) of 60 kV. Draw a schematic of the X-ray spectrum emitted by this tube; label on
it three characteristic λ and give the numerical value of two of these.

Exercise 3:
An X-ray tube with a silver (Ag) target at a plate voltage of 66 kV. Calculate the value of λ,
the shortest wavelength.
Sketch the emission spectrum (intensity. wavelength) of the Ag target. On your sketch,
indicate the relative positions of the Kα, Kβ, Lα, and Lβ lines and λα, It is not necessary to
calculate the values of Kβ, Lα, and Lβ lines.
In one or two sentences explain the origin of the continuous spectrum.

Exercise 4:
Identify the Chemical element from TP giving rise to Kα with λ = 2.51×10-10 m.

GOOD LUCK!
