5. The effective half-life is always ___ the radiological half-life -
correct answer -Less than
6. A chelating agent increases the elimination rate of radioactive
materials from the body by: - correct answer -Increasing the
solubility of insoluble compounds
7. The component in a photomultiplier tube that converts the light
output to photoelectrons is called - correct answer -
Photocathode
8. In the operation of an ion chamber the signal produced by ion
pairs in the chamber - correct answer -Stays the same as the
applied voltage is increased or decreased in the ion chamber
region
