Answer

17. **A** - Aluminum disks filter out the nonpenetrating, longer wavelength x-rays. The other options are involved in x-ray production but not filtration.18. **B** - The **Cathode** is the negative electrode and consists of a tungsten wire filament. The anode is the positive electrode.19. **A** - The tungsten target and copper stem are part of the **Anode**. The anode is where the x-rays are produced when electrons from the cathode strike the tungsten target.
