Principle
X-ray spectra of an X-ray tube are measured in an energy
dispersive manner with a semiconductor detector and with various
anode voltages. Duane and Hunt's law of displacement is
verified with the aid of the maximum energy of the
bremsspectrum.
Tasks
- Recording of the X-ray spectrum that is emitted by the copper
anode for various anode voltages Ua.
- Calculation of the minimum wavelength of the photons based on
the maximum energy of the bremsspectrums.
- Graphical representation of the relationship between the anode
voltage and the minimum wavelength of the bremsspectrum.
