Week 8 Assignment: Study Stack Exam Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| x-ray photon | quantum of electromagnetic energy. Velocity and amplitude |
| Frequency | number of wavelengths that pass a point of observation per second |
| wavelength | distance from one crest to another, from one valley to another, or from any point on the sine wave to the next corresponding point. |
| Wavelength = Velocity/Frequency | λ = c/f |
| electromagnetic spectrum | includes the entire range of electromagnetic energy |
| Visible light | identified by wavelength, RF is identified by frequency, and x-rays are identified by energy. |
| Radiofrequency | Low energy and long wavelength |
| Electromagnetic energy attenuation | reduction in intensity that results from scattering and absorption. |
| Inverse Square Law | The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is inversely related to the square of the distance from the source |
| Particle model: quantum theory | The x-ray photon is a discrete bundle of energy. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. Planck’s quantum equati |
| Electrostatics | study of stationary electric charges |
| Electrification | created by contact, friction, or induction. |
| Electrostatic laws | Unlike charges attract; like charges repel. Electric charge of a conductor is concentrated along the sharpest curvature of the surface. Electric charge distribution is uniform throughout or on the surface. |
| Electric circuits | Increasing electric resistance results in a reduced electric current. The voltage across the total circuit or any portion of the circuit is equal to the current times the resistance |
| Ohm’s Law | The manner in which electric currents behave in an electric circuit V = IR V = electric potential in volt I = electric current in ampere R = resistance in ohms |
| otal resistance | equal to the sum of the individual resistances |
