Answer to Question 1

variable kVp technique chart

Rationale: Fixed kV technique charts use a specific kV value for specific examinations, but allow for mAs to be altered when patient size and condition is factored in.

Answer to Question 2

Bremsstrahlung and Characteristic

Rationale: Bremsstrahlung and Characteristic interactions occur in the x-ray tube producing x-ray photons.
