QuestionAnswer
What is a method of explaining radiation to the public? BERT
The term as low as reasonable achievable (ALARA) is synonymous with the term optimization for radiation protection (ORP).
X-rays are a form of which of the following kinds of radiation? Ionizing
What is intended to be the best overall measure of the biologic effects of ionizing radiation? Effective dose
Typically, people are more willing to accept a risk if they perceive that the potential benefit to be obtained is greater than the risk involved.
Particles associated with electromagnetic radiation that have neither mass nor electric charge and travel at the speed of light are x-ray photons.
During the process of coherent scattering, an incident low-energy x-ray photon interacts with an atom and may transfer its energy by causing some or all of the electrons of the atom to momentarily vibrate and radiate energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
The symbol Z indicates atomic number of an atom.
The x-ray photon energy required to initiate pair production is 1.022 MeV.
What particles is considered to be a form of antimatter? Positron
What is the effective atomic number of compact bone? 13.8
Cataract formation, fibrosis, reduced fertility, and sterility are classified as late tissue reactions of ionizing radiation.
0.2 Gy equals 200 mGy.
What formula is used to calculate effective dose? EfD = D × W^R × W^T
Beta particles are actually

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
