(1)X-ray photon production occurs as a result of both general and characteristic radiation.(2)General radiation accounts for a small number of x-ray photons produced because it takes high kV to dislodge the electrons from the K shell.

The first statement is true;the second statement is false.X-ray photon production occurs as a result of both general and characteristic radiation;however,it is characteristic radiation that accounts for a small number of x-ray photons produced because it is through characteristic radiation that electrons are ejected from the K shell,which results in the production of x-ray photons.
