9. Which discovery was the precursor to the discovery of x-rays?
a. Beta particles
b. Alpha particles
c. Cathode rays
d. Radioactive materials
ANS: C
Beta particles are fast moving electrons emitted from the nucleus of radioactive atoms
and are not associated with x-rays. Alpha particles are emitted from the nuclei of heavy
metals and are not associated with x-rays. Wilhelm Roentgen was experimenting with
cathode rays when he discovered x-rays. Radioactive materials are certain unstable
atoms or elements that are in the process of spontaneous disintegration or decay.

x-rays?
a. Image
b. Image receptor
c. Radiograph
d. Dental radiograph
ANS: B
An image is a picture or likeness of an object. An image receptor is the recording
medium (film, phosphor plate, or digital sensor) that is placed in the patient’s mouth to
record the image produced by the x-rays. A radiograph is an image of two-dimensional
