Question
For 10 points each, answer the following about the science of modern x-ray imaging.
[10m] This phenomenon produces most of the emissions of a modern x-ray tube. In this phenomenon, electrons release x-rays while undergoing rapid deceleration.
ANSWER: bremsstrahlung [accept braking radiation]
[10e] The Larmor formula gives the total amount of this quantity radiated by bremsstrahlung. This quantity is defined as the amount of energy transferred per unit time and is typically measured in watts.
ANSWER: power
[10h] The spectral variance of the intensity of bremsstrahlung is given by a law named for this Dutch physicist. According to a theorem named for this physicist, the degeneracy of a particle with half-integer spin is always even.
