Question:

a. Summarise the energy changes that take place in an X-ray tube.
b. An X-ray tube is operated with a potential difference of 80 kV between the cathode and the tungsten anode. Calculate the kinetic energy (in electronvolts and joules) of an electron arriving at the anode. Estimate the impact speed of such an electron (assume that the electron is non-relativistic).
