Hi Jake - Thanks for your kind comments. I would be very happy to do the videos you suggest but I'm afraid I cant do them in time for Monday and probably not for another week or so. But good luck in your exam. I hope it goes well.

In general ionisation means that an electron has been knocked out of an atom so that the atom is positively charged (ionized). Excitation means that the electron has been pushed up to a higher energy level (but still within the atom). The atom still has all its electrons and is not ionised. But the excited electron will soon fall back to a lower energy level emitting a photon.

Thankyou for the great video, it really did help! I am just slightly confused with the graph. You said that were the minimum wavelength are seen high energy x-rays occur. On the y-axis there is intensity, so does that mean the x-rays produced on the left side of the graph have an high energy but low intensity?

@DrPhysicsA11 жыл бұрын
Yes. There is the braking radiation. But the main X rays come from high energy electrons knocking electrons from the inner shells of the anode. Outer shell electrons can then fall down the energy level to take the space vacated by the electron. This fall in energy is released as a photon - in this case in the X ray wavelength range.

Good simple explanation and useful practical/clinical tips. Just to correct one mistake DrPhysicsA in your explanation from 14:15 to 14:35, when x-rays strike the radiographic film it is blackened, not whitened or grayed. That is why the shadow of bone on the radiograph appears white or grey because the x-rays are attenuated by the dense bone. However the soft tissues do not stop the x-rays at all from penetrating hence that part of the radiographic film appears black.

Where x-rays are produced as a result of electrons falling from outer energy levels to inner energy levels then this will be a constant process because energy is constantly being given to the atom to enable electrons to jump up to the higher energy levels in the first place.

Ionisation is where the energy given to the electron (eg from a photon) is sufficient to kick the electron completely out of the atom. The atom therefore has a residual positive charge. Excitation is where the photon gives enough energy to promote the electron to a higher energy level but still in the atom.

Hi I'm an A Level student and I have my AQA unit 5 exam on Monday, I find your videos so helpful. I learn more after watching them than I've learnt in all my lessons on those topics. If you have time would you be able to do some videos on other Medical Physics topics? such as the eye, ear, and heart? This is the stuff on my syllabus, if you could make a video on anything on here it would be extremely helpful!

+DrPhysicsA Dear Dr. I got one question. At 14:00 why you draw the X Rays emerging from Anode not straight lines but around 15:00 you draw straight lines that are emerging from anode. Is this because the samples are bone and soft tissues respectively? If yes , but how do the X Rays know whats the sample. So Can you explain both cases considering the same straight lines emerging? Thanks
@confusion31462 жыл бұрын
I just have a few questions, does the rotor part of the anode also rotate along with the disc? Which part of the mechanism actually controls the tube current, is it the tube part of the cathode or the thermionic filament? Also, the anode is the positive part but does this refer specifically to the disc of the anode or the rotor that's positive to attract the electrons?

@maiprue8 жыл бұрын
Hi Dr Physics A,, I'm confused.How can an electron being accelerated and at the same time losing energy(@min 4:15)?Also, it seems that accelerating and decelerating charges both emit radiation. When you said accelerating charges radiate light, do you mean that 1.the light is being radiated while the charges are being accelerated? or 2. (after the acceleration process is over) charges then decelerate and light is emitted as a result? To me, decelerating charges emit radiation makes sense but radiation is emitted while charges are being accelerated does not. Can you explain this in term of conservation of energy if that's possible? Thanks very much.

Hi Thank you very much for your videos they are absolutely brilliant you explain things so well. I need to know what ionisation and excitation mean for my exam and from what I have gathered from your video because only 1% of electrons hitting the anode are converted into x-rays and 99% heat up the anode is this due to excitation and ionisation? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Sir, I would like to ask.Like what you mentioned, high speed electron will hit the electron from the tungsten atom. And then the outer electron will jump into the inner shell to replace it. Energy lost is the X-Ray. After outer electron fall into the inner shell, The more outer electron, I mean will others electron replace the jumping electron? will X -ray produce also?

What would happen if an incident electron didn't make a head on collision with one of the tungsten electrons but got very close? would it excite the tungsten electron and that would then emit a photon when it falls back down to its original energy level? if so, would it emit x-rays?
