Chapter 01: Radiation History
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.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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.

2. A radiograph is defined as
a. a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows on
a receptor.
b. a picture on film produced by the passage of x-rays through an object or body.
c. the art and science of making radiographs by the exposure of an image receptor to x-rays.
d. a form of energy carried by waves or a stream of particles.
CORRECT ANSWER: B
An x-ray is a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows
on a receptor. A radiograph is a picture on film produced by the passage of x-rays through an object
or body. Radiography is the art and science of making dental images by the exposure of a receptor
to x-rays. Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles.
