X-Ray Production | Medical Physics | A Level Physics

In this video we talk about X-ray production in xray tubes. We start off by defining x-rays and differentiating it with gamma rays. Then we talk about the various components of an x-ray tube, which allows us to produce x-rays: like the cathode, anode, vacuum, tungsten metal target, e.t.c. These components can work together to create an acceleration of electrons, the deceleration of high-speed electrons, and hence the production of x-rays. We also talk about x-ray collimation, and the soft rays vs.hard rays.

can you try and do electromagnetic induction. Thanks for this too tho

[@physeeks]

Yes, I have done it already! I believe you can find it on my channel page.

[@mrstinger3755]

After this chapter could you also do particle physics

[@physeeks]

Yes sure! I'm working on it :)

[@ark.kurosaki]

is X-Ray Attenuation released or nope?

[@raaziaabdullah23]

Ty for the video, I understood everything,, but about the soft Xrays with low energy, i read in book that we dont use soft xrays cuz they dont penetrate through skin and long exposure to skin can cause damage to cell,… so what is exactly right ?? Hard or soft ones ? I’m confused 😕

[@n.hossain942]

I think there is a certain wavelength which is optimal, not too soft or not too hard. Main idea is that it is closer to 10^-8. Hope that helps
