Electrostatic and Energy, Magnetism and Electricity Flashcards
The most dangerous type of light
Ultraviolet
The distance between the individual crest/trough
Wavelength
Rapidity with which the waves hit the shore
AKA The number of waves passing a given point/unit of time
Frequency
Bundle of energy in which how x-rays travel
AKA a quanta
Photon
The time taken to complete one wave; includes a crest and a trough
Period
When did Roentgen discover the x-ray?
November 8, 1895
Concerns the movement of electrons
Due to free electrons
The way radiation is produced in an x-ray tube but on a larger scale
Electrostatics
The intensity of the x-ray beam is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source
Most important concept of x-rays
Inverse square Law
Contact electrification
Static electricity
Electricity that occurs when one object is rubbed against another
Friction
Most important of electrification that is used in electronics
Induction
2 conductors
- water
2. copper
3 Insulators
- Rubber
- Plastic
- Glass
1800s Frenchman who developed the amp
Milliamprers
Andre’-Marie Ampere
Regulates the number of electrons used to produce an x-ray
