Principle
An X-ray tube produces X-rays that cause a fluorescent screen to
emit light. Objects that are located between the X-ray source and
the fluorescent screen will be irradiated so that their inner
structure becomes visible. If one varies the anode current and
voltage, the change in intensity can be observed in a qualitative
manner on the fluorescent screen.
Tasks
- X-ray an object and observe the result on the fluorescent
screen.
- Vary the anode current and voltage and observe the result
on the fluorescent screen.
