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
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
electrons with a metal target in an x-ray tube. Radiology is a branch of medicine that
deals with the use of x-rays.
