Q

What is Wave Theory?

A

Wave theory explains the propagation of radiation and the quantum theory explains the interaction of radiation with matter.

19
Q

What is Electromagnetic Radiation?

A

Movement of energy through space as a

combination of electric and magnetic fields.

20
Q

Electromagnetic Radiation starts with?

A

Radio Waves 10^3

21
Q

When does Electromagnetic Radiation start to ionize?

A

At the Ultraviolet divide

22
Q

We have to be more protected against…

A

Ionizing Radiation

23
Q

What is Ionizing?

A

Have sufficient energy to eject an electron from the shells

24
Q

What is Non-Ionizing?

A

Does not have sufficient energy to eject an electron from the shells

25
Q

Wavelength and Frequency are?

A

Inversely Proportional

26
Q

What is Wavelength?

A

Distance between two successive crests

27
Q

What is Frequency?

A

Number of wavelength passing a particular point in time

28
Q

Speed of Light Formula (c) =

A

Frequency (Hz) * Wavelength (m)

29
Q

Quantum Theory of Radiation :

A

Particles

30
Q

E =

A

energy, measured in e- volts

31
Q

Quantum Theory of Radiation …

A

▪ Considers radiation as small discrete bundles of energy called
photons.

▪ Each photon has energy (eV), mass and travels in straight lines at the
speed of light.

▪ Electrically charged (except neutrons)

32
Q

High Frequency =

A

Short Wavelength = High Energy

37
Q

What is Ionizing Rate?

A

▪ Rate of loss of energy from a particle as it moves through matter

38
Q

What does Ionizing Rate Depend on?

A

▪ Depends on velocity, charge and size.

– Lower velocity, higher charge and bigger size → Greater LET

39
Q

Ionizing Rate :

A

Linear Energy Transfer (LET)

40
Q

Lower LET =

A

Further it travels

41
Q

What are X-rays

A

▪ They are weightless packages of pure energy (photons) without an
electrical charge which travel in waves with a specific frequency and
wavelength at the speed of light (3x10
8m/sec) and are able to ionize
matter.

42
Q

What are the properties of X-rays?

A
  1. Invisible, weightless, no electric charge
  2. Travels in straight lines.
    X-ray beam diverges over distance.
  3. Travels at the speed of light
  4. Highly penetrating (short wavelengths)
    0.01 nm to 0.1 nm
  5. Invisible, weightless, no electric charge
  6. Travels in straight lines.
    X-ray beam diverges over distance.
  7. Travels at the speed of light
  8. Highly penetrating (short wavelengths)
    0.01 nm to 0.1 nm
43
Q

Difference between Ionization and Excitation

A

Excitation:
▪ When the transferred energy is not sufficient to overcome binding
energy, e
-
is NOT ejected
▪ Receiving e
is raised to higher energy level within the orbit.
Instantaneously gives up this excess energy and returns to ground
level

Ionization:
Energy needed to displace something

Excitation:
Energy moves something around but does not displace it
