Increasing the kVp has what affect on wavelength and frequency?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the kVp (kilovoltage peak) in X-ray production increases the energy of the X-rays produced. According to the relationship E=hf (where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency), an increase in energy results in an increase in frequency. Since the speed of light (c) is constant and related to wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) by the equation c=λf, an increase in frequency necessitates a decrease in wavelength.
