..is emitted when high speed electrons decelerate as they are smashed into a metal target?

If I remember right. I believe that x-rays are given off. Let me know if I am right. Good luck.

Electrons consist of of ?
Yes , X-rays consist of first moving electrons ,because high voltage between cathode and anode causes the electrons to accelerate toward the anode,When the electrons strike the anode's target area, X-rays are emitted.
When Radiograph is produced?
electrons strike a target
Does the number of electrons hitting the target controlled by mAs?
Yes.
Why electron is called electron?
Electron microscopes fire a beam of electrons at a target, then measure exactly how they are reflected. (electrons exist as particles & waves) A computer then generates an image from the data recieved. Also, cheese.

Why is the x-ray tube considered an inefficient device?
In X-ray tubes, electrons are emitted from a cathode source to a anode target through a process called thermionic emission. Electrons are then accelerated towards the anode target via a potential energy difference between the cathode and anode. The interaction between the accelerated electrons and atoms in the anode target causes the emission of X-ray. Efficiency of the X-ray tube is impaired by the kinetic energy of the accelerated electrons being loss as heat and only 1% of the remaining energy is used to emit X-ray.
When cathode rays strike a metal target say tungsten what happens?
x-rays are emitted
When Radiograph is produced?
electrons strike a target
Does the number of electrons hitting the target controlled by mAs?
Yes.
When electrons bombard the target what percent of their kinetic energy is converted to heat?
99
What must be present to produce x-ray?
X-ray production whenever electrons of high energy strike a heavy metal target, like tungsten or copper. When electrons hit this material, some of the electrons will approach the nucleus of the metal atoms where they are deflected because of there opposite charges. This deflection causes the energy of the electron to decrease, and this decrease in energy then results in forming an x-ray.
If you shoot very high energy electrons at a metal target can you make x-rays?
Yes
Where are x-rays emitted from?
The energy to generate X-rays for medical imaging comes from high voltage. High voltage is applied to an X-ray tube to accelerate electrons across the space between the anode and cathode in the tube. The higher the voltage, the more the electrons are accelerated. The electrons slam into the cathode, which is a metal target. This "knocks loose" some electrons in the metallic crystal structure of the metal of the cathode, and when the electrons that have been slammed into give up energy to return to a "relaxed" state, they give off very high energy electromagnetic radiation - X-rays.
How does electromagnetic radiation originate?
As it is a form of energy, it cannot be said to originate in any normal sense - energy is neither destroyed nor created. The other problem with your question is that because the electromagnetic spectrum covers all forms of radiated wave energy, there is no simple answer. As a very simple starting point, all forms of EMR can be generated as a result of a change in energy of matter. For instance, visible light, UV and other wavelengths can be emitted when an electron changes energy level in an atom or in a plasma, infrared can be emitted when an atom drops in temperature, X-rays can be emitted when high energy electrons are absorbed by a solid metal target,
If you shoot very high energy electrons at a metal target can you can make X-rays?
Yes, this is a very common method.
