Question
Answer
In the x-ray tube, x-rays originate from?   Anode.  
🗑
The Electrons that revolve in shells around the nucleus have a + or - Charge?   Negative Charge.  
🗑
What radiation category do the x-rays belong to?   Electromagnetic radiations.  
🗑
What is an x-ray photon?   A samll bundle of pure energy with wave-like properties.  
🗑
How are x-rays produced in the x-ray tube?   High speed electons interacting with the nucleus of the target atoms giving off radiation.  
🗑
The target material(in the anode) for diagnostic tube is?   Tungsten  
🗑
At diagnostic levels, what percentage of the electron energy is converted to x-radiation at the anode?   less than 1%.  
🗑
Increasing the kVp of an x-ray machine increases the ____?   Number and energy of photons generated.  
🗑
The dental x-ray beam consist of photons of many different wavelengths, with the shortest wavelength photons determined by:   Kilovoltage peak (kVp)  
🗑
How can you discribe the radiation produced by high kVp?   Short wave lengths of high frequency.  
🗑
In a standard dental x-ray unit, the quality of x-radiation produced during exposure energization is controlled primarily by:   Kilovoltage (kV)  
🗑
In the standard dental x-ray unit, the quantity of x-radiation produced during exposure energization is controlled primarily by:   Exposure time and milliamperage.  
🗑
