| Question | Answer |
| Intensifying screens | Plates coated with fluorescent crystals. |
| Ampere | Used to measure the rate of current flow in the circuit. Equals an electrical charge of 1 coulomb flowing through the conductor each second. |
| Frequency | The number of times the crest of a wave passes a given point. |
| Chemical compound | A substance that consists of only one type of molecule. |
| Conductor | A gas, liquid, or metal that allows an electric charge to drift or flow through it. |
| Mass | The quantity of matter that makes up any physical object. |
| Current | The flow of electrical charges. |
| Electromagnetic Energy | The spectrum of energies that includes radio waves, microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays. The energy has both electric and magnetic properties. |
| Kilovolt Peak (kVp) | Used to measure the potential difference across an x-ray tube. Equal to 1000 volts. |
| Electron | One of three fundamental particles that compose atoms. These particles have a negative charge. |
| Element | A substance made up of only one type of atom. |
| Atoms | All matter is composed of these "building blocks". |
| Binding Energy | The quantities of energy that are required to hold electrons in orbital shells. |
| Ionization | When a neutral atom gains or loses an electron, the electrical charges of its protons and electrons are no longer equal. |
| Circuit | Continuous path; Current will flow in a circuit when there is a difference in electrical charge, a potential difference, between two points in the circuit. |
