    X-ray tube has a tube voltage of 50 kV. Calculate the maximum frequency of the xray photons (1 eV= 1. X 10-19j) from this tube. Explain why the mechanism of photoelectric effect is useful in the production of an xray imaging while not the photoelectric effect? Explain why xray therapy uses photoelectric effect instead of Compton scatter.

    Unit 12

    Problems

    1. An x-ray tube has a tube voltage of 50 kV. Calculate the maximum frequency of the
    x-ray photons (in Hz) from this x-ray tube. (1 eV= 1.6 x 10-19J).

    2. An x-ray tube has a tube voltage of 45 kV and the tube current is 40mA. The
    efficiency of the x-ray tube is 1%.
    a. Calculate the power of x-ray tube.
    b. Calculate the power of x-ray beam.

    3. Explain why the mechanism of photoelectric effect is useful in the production of an x-


    ray imaging while Compton scatter is not useful for this purpose?

    4. Explain why Compton scatter is a preferable mechanism for x-ray therapy while not
    the photoelectric effect?
