Answer to Question 1

Characteristic

Rationale: Characteristic radiation occurs when a high speed electron encounters a tungsten atom ejecting a K shell electron and leaving the K shell vacant. An electron from an adjacent shell slides into the vacancy and emits a K characteristic ray.

Answer to Question 2

autotransformer

Rationale: The secondary circuit begins with the secondary coil of step up transformer. It also includes: millimeter (mA), milliampere second meter (mAs), rectifiers, high voltage cables, and the tube.
