Energy & Electricity

Question 1

Where is the Binding energy in the electron shell greatest

Answer 1

In the inner shell, resulting in higher energy photons when they are ejected during characteristic radiation production

Question 2

Why is characteristic radiation discrete energy?

Answer 2

The target on the anode is pure Tungstun and the K shell binding energy of Tungsten is consistent resulting in a monoenergetic characteristic

Question 3

All ionization ratiation has a wavelength of what?

Answer 3

less then 1 nanometer

Question 4

what has the shortest wavelength?

Answer 4

Therapeutic radiation

Question 5

order of decreasing energy of radiations?

Answer 5

therapeutic xrays
gamma rays
x rays

Question 6

The shortest wavelength non ionizing electromagnetic waveform is?

Answer 6

UV rays which has the greatest penetrating power

Question 7

what is the smallest particle of electromagnetic radiation?

Answer 7

photon

Question 8

What is the name when photons travel in groups?

Answer 8

quanta of radiation

Question 9

What is amplitude?

Answer 9

the height of the wave from baseline

Question 10

frequncy

Answer 10

the number of complete waves per unit time

Question 11

wavelength

Answer 11

the distance between adjacent of two peaks

Question 12

what does wavelength determine?

Answer 12

frequency

shorter wavelength= higher frequency

Question 13

velocity

Answer 13

Speed at which wave travels

always the speed of light for EM radiation

Question 14

Electrical current

Answer 14

in the USA it is AC current flos at 6- cycles per second in a sine wave form

Question 15

Half Wave

Answer 15

AKA half wave rectified is a 60 cycle/sec electricity

Using only the - to + wave, ignorning and not using the + to - half of the wave

Question 16

Fully rectified

Answer 16

using both the - to + and a flipped version of the + to - half of the cycle resulting in 120 pulsees per second

Question 17

Tri-phase

Answer 17

uses three 60 cycle/second waves in phase, fully rectified resulting in 360 pulses/second

Question 18

High frequency tranformers use what type of wave?

Answer 18

Use single phase waves that are squared off by capacitors that discharge during exposure which fill gaps between waves

Question 19

When does the square wave form?

Answer 19

Forms when fully rectified have no appreciable interpulse gap nearly peak average energy when fully rectified

Question 20

What do Diodes in the circuit prevent?

Answer 20

Prevent reversal of current flow during use

Question 21

how do we invert the lower half of the electricity sine wave?

Answer 21

Diodes
