Question
The target used in a Coolidge tube for the production of X-rays is made up of ________ .
The target used in a Coolidge tube for the production of X-rays is made up of ________ .
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B molybdenum
Molybdenum is used as a target in Coolidge tube
for product.
X- ray tube is an energy converter and it’s a
device made of cathode and anode. An electrical current flows through the tube
from cathode to anode, when electron undergoes a energy loss, which
results in generation of x -rays.
Anode is a component in which x-rays are
produced. It has 2 primary functions.
1.To convert
electricity to x-ray
2.To dissipate
heat in the process
For this, material such as molybdenum and tungsten are used with high
atomic number which has good heat storage capacity and low rate of evaporation.
