Answer:
Both statements are true.
Question 2: The lead collimator
Answer:
restricts the size of the x-ray beam.
Question 3: Which subatomic particle carries a negative electrical charge?
Answer:
An electron Question 4: Which of the following components of the x-ray machine would have two indicator lights?
Answer:
The control panel
Question 5: The spontaneous emission of radiation from the disintegration of unstable atomic nuclei is
Answer:
radioactivity.
Question 6: The binding energy or binding force of an electron is
Answer:
determined by the distance between the orbiting electrons and the nucleus.Question 7: Which of the following four possibilities that can occur when an x-ray photon interacts with matter is responsible for producing densities on a dental receptor that make dental radiography possible?
Answer:
Compton scatter
Question 8: Which of the following statements is true of ionizing radiation?
Answer:
It is radiation that is capable of producing ions by removing or adding an electron to an atom.Question 9: (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.
Answer:
The first statement is true; the second statement is false.
Question 10: Which property of x-rays allows for the image on the receptor?
Answer:
Penetrating power Question 11: Your x-ray machine runs off 110 volts. Theoretically what would occur if there was no step-down transformer in the x-ray control panel?
Answer:
Too many electrons would be produced for the purpose of dental x-rays. Only 3-5 volts are required to heat the tungsten filament.
Question 12: Within the x-ray tube, electrons are generated by the
Answer:
tungsten filament in the cathode.Question 13: Which of the following forms of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength?
Answer:
Dental x-ray wave Question 14: Interaction with the x-ray photon as a result of the photoelectric effect is harmful to the patient because ionization occurs.
Answer:
The statement is true.Question 15: In the dental x-ray tube, the number of electrons created is controlled by
Answer:
milliamperage.
Question 16: An ion pair results when
Answer:
an electron is removed from an atom.Question 17: Your patient had x-rays taken in her previous dental office. She notices that the long metal tube at the end of the x-ray head is longer than it was at the other office.
Answer:
It aims and shapes the x-ray beam.
Question 18: Photons are
Answer:
a component of the particle concept of electromagnetic radiation.Question 19: Which would you adjust if you wanted to produce characteristic radiation?
Answer:
Kilovoltage
Question 20: Electromagnetic radiations
Answer:
include x-rays and visible light.
Question 21: Which of the following elements is the simplest atom?
Answer:
Hydrogen (H #1)
Question 22: Which of the following statements is true of ionization?
Answer:
An atom that gains an electron has a negative charge, and an atom that loses an electron has a positive charge.Question 23: Which is the most common possibility when an x-ray photon interacts with matter?
Answer:
Compton scatter Question 24: Heat is a byproduct of x-ray production. Which component of the x-ray tubehead dissipates the heat created by the production of x-rays?
Answer:
Insulating oil
Question 25: The fundamental unit of matter is the
Answer:
atom.
Question 26: The nucleus of an atom contains
Answer:
protons and neutrons.Question 27: Which of the following statements is true of orbits or shells in the atom?
Answer:
The orbiting shell closest to the nucleus has the highest energy level.
