MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Radiation is defined as
a. a form of energy carried by waves or
streams of particles.
b. a beam of energy that has the power to
penetrate substances and record image
shadows on a receptor.
c. a high-energy radiation produced by the
collision of a beam of electrons with a
metal target in an x-ray tube.
d. a branch of medicine that deals with the
Pa
use of x-rays.
ANS: A
Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles. An x-ray is a beam
of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows on a
receptor. X-radiation is a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of
ss
electrons with a metal target in an x-ray tube. Radiology is a branch of medicine that
deals with the use of x-rays.

Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that discharges emitted
s
from the negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat,
and resulted in a greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that
cathode rays were streams of charged particles.
