Increasing the kVp (kilovoltage peak) in X-ray production does indeed increase the energy of the X-ray photons, which in turn increases their quantity because more photons are produced at higher energy levels. Additionally, it increases the penetrating power of the X-ray photons, allowing them to pass through denser materials. Therefore, all of the statements are correct.
