Which of the following occur during x-ray tube preparation or "boost?"
1)The collimator light goes out to save energy.
2)The anode comes up to rotational speed.
3)The preselected milliamperage increases in the cathode filament.
4)A high voltage is applied across both diodes of the x-ray tube,enabling electrons to travel across to the anode.
5)The grid in the table begins to oscillate.

Before actual exposure,prepping the tube includes the milliamperage increasing to the preselected value and the anode disc rotating up to a minimum speed of rotation.At the precise moment of exposure,a large electrical potential is applied across the dipoles of the x-ray tube,causing the liberated electrons to accelerate at tremendous speed from cathode to anode.
