Question

If I was to increase the voltage of the x ray tube would this affect the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering of the x ray photons thankyou?

Why does increasing the KvP increase Compton scattering.

Thankyou.

Answer 1

increasing the voltage increases of the x-ray tube would affect the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering because the potential difference between the cathode and anode, thus increasing
the energy of each electron when it strikes the target. The greater the potential
The difference the faster the electrons travel from the cathode to the anode. This results in
enhanced efficiency of conversion of electron energy into x-ray photons

1. When KvP is increased the probability of any interaction is decreased, but the probability of the photoelectric interaction is reduced faster than the probability of the Compton interaction, the relative number of Compton interactions enhanced
