Q

Binding Energy

A

Strength of electrons attachment to the nucleus. closer to the nucleus= greater binding energy

40
Q

potential Energy

A

stored energy by virtue of position. the further from the nucleus the greater potential energy

41
Q

kinetic energy is?

A

energy in motion; energy expanded

42
Q

thermal energy

43
Q

Electromagnetic energy

A

X-ray converts kinetic energy into electromagnetic energy in the form of X-ray

44
Q

E=mc^2

A

energy= mass X the speed of light^2

45
Q

what is the speed of light

A

186,000 MILES PER SEC.
3x10^8 m/sec
3x10^10 cm/sec

46
Q

newtons first law of motion

A

body at rest will remain at restore will continue to move in a straight line unless it is disturbed

47
Q

newtons Second law of motion

A

Force= Mass X Acceleration

48
Q

do electrons move in a straight line?

49
Q

what is the formula for electrons according do newtons second law of motion?

50
Q

what is ionization

A

Ionization is when an orbiting electron is removed from orbit creating an ion pair (+ charged atom & a - charged free electron

51
Q

types of ionizing radiation

A

particulate radiation and Electromagnetic Radiation

52
Q

Particulate radiation create what?

A

Alpha and Beta particles

53
Q

Electromagnetic radiation create what ?

A

Gamma rays and X-rays

54
Q

what are Alpha particles

A

2 Protons and 2 neutrons (+), large so they can not penetrate very far

55
Q

what sub-atomic particle has the highest LET?

Q

what is the diff. between X-ray and Gamma ray?

A

their origin

60
Q

X- ray origin?

A

inner shell electron interaction

61

what is the minimum effective dose for a student?

A

1 mSv annually (.1 rem)

63
Q

what is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

64
Q

what is the wavelength formula

A

Velocity= frequency X wavelength

65

A

used to quantify occupational exposure; effective dose; biological effectiveness dose

75
Q

the curie/Becquerel is used for?

A

used to quantify Radioactivity; quantity of radioactive material not its effects on radiation being emitted

78
Q

Radiolucent

A

radiation can penetrate through it (soft tissue)

79
Q

Radiopaque

A

radiation gets absorbed by it (bone)

80
Q

inverse square law
