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).

I have been a tutor for the past 5 years. I have experience working with students in a variety of subject areas, including computer science, math, science, English, and history. I have also worked with students of all ages, from elementary school to college. In addition to my tutoring experience, I have a degree in education from a top university. This has given me a strong foundation in child development and learning theories, which I use to inform my tutoring practices.
I am patient and adaptable, and I work to create a positive and supportive learning environment for my students. I believe that all students have the ability to succeed, and it is my job to help them find and develop their strengths. I am confident in my ability to tutor students and help them achieve their academic goals.
