← ScienceWhich outcome arises when source electrons deplete during induced X-ray emission?
A)Beam hardening effects intensify✓
B)Compton scattering events increase
C)Characteristic radiation energies shift
D)Bremsstrahlung production efficiency declines
💡 Explanation
Beam hardening increases because preferential absorption removes lower energy photons, decreasing the mean energy. The mechanism is differential attenuation; therefore, the beam shifts towards higher effective energies rather than other spectral changes due to electron reduction.
