Q

In basic radiation protection, it is usually aluminum that is inserted into x-ray tube housing so that low energy x-rays emitted by the tube are absorbed before they can reach the patient.

Q

In basic radiation protection, it restricts the useful beam to that part of the body requiring examination and thereby spares adjacent tissue from unnecessary exposure.

16
Q

This screen reduces the exposure of the patient to x-rays by more than 95% compared with examination without it.

A

Intensifying Screen

17
Q

In radiologic units, it is the radiation exposure or intensity and it is measured in c/kg or roentgen

A

Air Kerma

18
Q

In radiologic units, it is the amount of energy deposited or absorbed per kilogram of tissue and it is measured in Gray or Rad

A

Absorbed Dose

19
Q

In radiologic units, it express the quantity of radiation received by radiation workers and it is measured in Sieverts or Rem

A

Dose Equivalent

20
Q

In radiologic units, it is the unit of the quantity of radioactive material and not the radiation emitted by that material and it is measured by Becquerel or Curie

A

Radioactivity

21
Q

In fundamental of physics, it is sometimes called speed. It measures how fast something is going or the rate of change of its position with time.

? = d/t

A

Velocity

22
Q

In Newton’s laws of motion, it is the law that states when a body will remain at rest or continue moving with a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted on by an external force.

A

Law of Inertia

23
Q

In Newton’s laws of motion, it is the push or pull on an object. It is the law that states that the force applied to move an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration.

F = ma

A

Law of Force

24
Q

In Newton’s laws of motion, it states that in every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A

Law of Action/Reaction

25
Q

In fundamental of physics, it is a force on a body caused by the downward pull of gravity on it.

? = mg

A

Weight

26
Q

In fundamental of physics, it is the product of the mass of an object and its velocity, represented by p.

The greater the velocity of an object, the more ? the object possesses.

p = mv

A

Momentum

27
Q

In fundamental of physics, it is the force applied times the distance over which it is applied.

? = Fd

A

Work

28
Q

In fundamental of physics, it is the rate of doing work

? = Work/t

A

Power

29
Q

The four substances of matter.

A

Earth, Water, Air and Fire

30
Q

The four essences of matter.

A

Wet, Dry, Hot and Cold

31
Q

According to him, an element was composed of identical atoms that reacted the same way in chemical reactions. All oxygen atoms were alike, constructed alike and reacted alike.

Physical combination of one type of atom with another was visualized as being an hook and eye affair.

A

John Dalton

32
Q

He described the atom as plum and pudding, where the plum represents negative electric charges and the pudding was a shapeless mass of positive electrification.

A

J.J Thomson

33
Q

He disproved Thomson’s model of an atom and introduced the nuclear model.

A

Ernest Rutherford

34
Q

He improved Rutherford’s description of the atom and introduced the miniature solar system in which the electrons revolved about the nucleus in prescribed orbits or energy levels.

A

Niel’s Bohr

35
Q

In x-ray interaction with matter, it is sometimes called Coherent or Thompson Scattering where incident photons interacts with a target atom, causing it to become excited.

No energy transferred and therefore no ionization.

A

Classical Scattering

36
Q

In x-ray interaction with matter, it occurs between moderate energy x-rays and outer shell electrons. It results in ionization of the target atom, change in photon direction and reduction of photon energy.

A

Compton Effect

37
Q

In x-ray interaction with matter, the incident x-ray interacts with the inner shell electron and the result is total x-ray energy is totally absorbed.

Characteristic X-rays are produced.

A

Photoelectric Effect

38
Q

In x-ray interaction with matter, the incident x-ray interacts with the nuclear force field and the results is x-ray disappears and two electrons with opposite charge appear.

A

Pair Production

39
Q

In x-ray interaction with matter, the incident x-ray interacts directly into the nucleus and the results is x-ray is absorbed by the nucleus and nucleon fragment is emitted.

A

Photodisintegration
