How Does an X-ray Machine Function in Different Settings?

In summary, the conversation is discussing an exam paper question about describing an x-ray machine for use in an undergraduate research lab and explaining the production of characteristic and bremsstrahlung x-rays. The question also asks for two differences between this x-ray machine and one used in a hospital for x-ray imaging. The person asking the question also mentions that it is not a homework question, but rather a question for revision.

What do you guys think the best answer tyo these questions are?

Descibe in detail an x-ray machine for use in a n undegraduate research lab:
(6 marks)

Explain how both characteristic and bremsstrahlung x-rays are produced?
(4 marks)

State two differences between the x-ray machine you described above and one qwhich might be used in a hospital for x-ray imaging.
(2 marks)


Its not a homework question, but rather an exam paper question I am using to revise and wondered what everyone else would have put for this question?
