1. Consider an Machlett Dynamax x-ray tube with a tungsten target operating with an accelerating potential of 100 kV and filament current of 4.4A. The anode target angle is 17 degrees and the apparent focal spot is 1 mm by 1 mm.
a) Calculate the highest photon frequency expected.
b) Give a typical sketch of the 100 kV x-ray spectrum. Identify the bremsstrahlung portion and the characteristic peaks.
c) What is the actual size of the focal spot?
