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.
