Answer:
Increased
Explanation:
kVp is an acronym for kilovoltage peak, and it determines the strength x-ray beam strength, and the quality of the beam, it is a measure of the highest that the x-ray machine produces. A 60 kVp x-ray will produce photons with a maximum energy of 60 kilovolts while a 70 kVp will produce photons having 70 kilovolts as the maximum energy
Therefore, a high kVp exposure will result in scattered photon that is of increased energy compared with a lower kVp exposure.
