rotating anode
1)During a operation large shaped disc tungsten anode rotate at speed 3000 t0 9000rpm(resolution per minute).
2)A motive force to rotate the anode is given by induction motor.therefore windings of which is housed outside the tube.
3)a design element help to limit power density delivered on the physical focal spot while making a small effective focal spot.
4)with rotating anode,heat is produced during exposure is spread over the large area of anode.thereby increases the heating loading capacity of the tube and allowing high power level are used as a result which produces the x radiation.
5) by increasing the anode voltage x rays which produces the shortest wavelength this is used to therpeutic.
by decresing the anode current which produces the longest wavelength this is used for diagnostic process.

∙ 13y agoIn a synchrotron X-rays (of very pure spectral characteristics) are produced by bending the electron beam. However in a X-Ray tube the X-Rays are generated as the electrons (released at the Cathode) hit the target substance of the Anode (different targets will produce different X-Rays). The anode also supplies the electrical potential with which to accelerate the electrons away from the cathode.

Difference between rotating anode x ray tube and stationary x ray tube?
A rotating anode promotes cooling between exposures by distributing the intense beam from the cathode over the surface of the anode. A rotating anode tube lasts a lot longer than a stationary x-ray tube.
In cathode ray tube cathode and anode rays travel opposite to each other but they are not neutralized. why?
There is no such thing as anode rays. The cathode rays (aka electron beam) just travels from cathode to anode.
What A low pressure gas filled glass tube which generates a glowing beam between cathode and anode?
Cathode ray.
What is the negatively charged electrode of a cathode ray tube?
The negatively charged electrode of a cathode ray tube (CRT) is the cathode. The tube is a cathode ray tube, and electrons stream off the cathode, are accelerated across the evacuated space and "directed" either electromagnetically or electrostatically, and then strike the phosphor coating on the positively charged anode at a "location" determined by the "directing" elements.
Ray of radiation traveling from the cathode to the anode?
Cathode Ray
Difference between rotating anode x ray tube and stationary x ray tube?
A rotating anode promotes cooling between exposures by distributing the intense beam from the cathode over the surface of the anode. A rotating anode tube lasts a lot longer than a stationary x-ray tube.
What are stationary anode x ray tubes?
An x-ray tube where the anode is held still, rather than rotated as would happen in the rotating anode tube.
The purpose of rotating the X-ray tube target is to?
The x-ray tube target is rotated to reduce wear and tear on the anode and to keep the anode from overheating.
What is the source of electrons in the x-ray tube?
The cathode of an electron gun.
What is the direction of current in picture tube of TV?
A cathode ray tube (CRT) emits light when electrons strike the front of the glass tube that is covered in a phosphor coating. The front of the tube is the anode of the tube. The electrons are fired from the rear of the tube by an electrode called the cathode. The electrons are formed into a beam or ray, hence the name of cathode ray tube. Although the electrons travel from the rear of the tube to the front, or from the cathode to the anode, conventional current actually flows the opposite direction. So, the current, as measured in amps will flow from the anode to the cathode.
Is cathode ray tube and electron tube same?
Yes they are the same. A cathode ray tube (CRT) uses an electron gun to "shoot" electrons from the cathode to specific positions on the anode of the CRT.
What is the normal anode angle diagnostic x-ray tube?
About 15 degrees, for a typical modern general purpose diagnostic tube.
In cathode ray tube cathode and anode rays travel opposite to each other but they are not neutralized. why?
There is no such thing as anode rays. The cathode rays (aka electron beam) just travels from cathode to anode.
How are cathod rays produced?
when the cathode filament emits the electron and because of the high vaccum inside the tube with a high voltage who is applied on anode (the destination) the electron will accelerate to the anode and the anode will emits the x-ray photon directly after strike of the mentioned electron. the power of x-ray or peneration is determined of the anode high voltage.
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.
Differentiate between anode ray and cathode ray?
Anode ray is positive and cathode ray is negative
How are atoms in an X-ray tube anode ionized?
The atoms in the anode of an X-ray tube are ionized by an incoming beam of high energy electrons. Those electrons streamed off the cathode and were accelerated by the high voltage across the tube's elements. The high energy electron beam slams into the specially alloyed anode and ionizes the atoms there. The ionized atoms have their outer electrons torn out to very high energy levels, and when they de-ionize, they do so by emitting a high energy photon - an X-ray. The anode gets hot as heck, too.
