Complete Newest Version
What two things make up our universe? - ANSWER: Matter and energy

_________ is anything that occupies space and has mass. - ANSWER: Matter

Mass - ANSWER: The quantity of matter contained in any physical object

_________ is the ability to do work and can exist in several forms. - ANSWER: Energy

What is the fundamental building block of matter? - ANSWER: Atom

Potential Energy - ANSWER: is the ability to do work

Kinetic Energy - ANSWER: is the energy of motion

Electric Energy - ANSWER: Represents the work that can be done when an electron
moves through an electric potential difference (voltage)

Electromagnetic Energy - ANSWER: The energy that travels through space and is a
combination of electric and magnetic fields (used in X-ray imaging)

What did Albert Einstein have to say about mass and energy?
(Theory of Relativity) - ANSWER: E = mc^2

E - energy
M - mass
C - velocity

What is the speed of light? - ANSWER: 3.00 x 10^8 m/s (or 186,000 miles per second)

Radiation - ANSWER: is the transfer of energy

Ionizing Radiation - ANSWER: Any type of radiation that is capable of removing an
orbital electron from the atom with which it interacts

Ion pair - ANSWER: The orbital electron and the atom from which it was separated
with (electron is negative, atom is positive)

When were x-rays discovered? - ANSWER: November 8th, 1895

Who accidentally discovered x-rays? - ANSWER: Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen

,Who was the first American fatality because of x-rays? - ANSWER: Clarence Dally

What tube aided in the discovery of x-rays? - ANSWER: Crookes Tube

Properties of X-rays - ANSWER: - Highly penetrating and invisible
- Not affected by electric or magnetic fields
- Can be produced over a wide variety of energies and wavelengths
- Travel in straight lines

What is the largest source of natural environment radiation? - ANSWER: Radon

ALARA - ANSWER: As Low As Reasonably Achievable

Basic Quantities - ANSWER: - Mass
- Time
- Length

Derived Quantities - ANSWER: - Volume
- Mass Density
- Velocity

Special Quantities - ANSWER: - Exposure (R) (Gy)
- Dose (rad) (rem) (Sv)
- Radioactivity (Ci) (Bq)

Newton's First Law of Mechanics (Inertia) - ANSWER: A body will remain at rest or
continue to move with constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an
external force

Newton's Second Law of Mechanics (Force) - ANSWER: The force on an accelerating
object is equal to mass multiplied by the acceleration (F = ma)

Newton's Third Law of Mechanics (Action & Reaction) - ANSWER: For every action
there is an equal opposite reaction

Work - ANSWER: Joule

Energy - ANSWER: is the ability to do work; Erg, Joule

Force - ANSWER: Newton, Dyne

Power - ANSWER: is the rate of doing work; Watt, Joule/sec

Velocity - ANSWER: Distance over time

Acceleration - ANSWER: Velocity over time

, Electric Potential - ANSWER: Volt

Charge - ANSWER: Coulomb

Current - ANSWER: Ampere

Heat / Temperature - ANSWER: Fahrenheit to Celsius = 9/5C + 32 = F
Celsius to Fahrenheit = 5/9 (F-32) = C

Exposure (Roentgen/R) or Air Kerma (Gya) - ANSWER: The kinetic energy transferred
from photons to electrons during ionization and excitation

Absorbed Dose (Rad) or Gray (Gyt) - ANSWER: Radiation energy absorbed per unit
mass; depends on the type of tissue being irradiated

Effective Dose (Rem) or Sievert (Sv) - ANSWER: The quantity of radiation received by
radiation workers and populations as well as patient dose (occupational radiation)

Radioactivity (Curie/Ci) or Becquerel (Bq) - ANSWER: The unit of quantity of
radioactive material, not the radiation emitted by that material

The first Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to: - ANSWER: Wilhelm Conrad
Roentgen

What do collimation and filtration do? - ANSWER: Reduce patient dose

Every measurement has a magnitude and a ________. - ANSWER: Unit

Resistance - ANSWER: Ohms (Ω)

The S.I. unit of measure for the Absorbed Dose of radiation or RAD is the: - ANSWER:
Gray

Energy is measured in: - ANSWER: - Joules
- Electron Volts

Work = - ANSWER: Force x distance

Atoms and molecules are the fundamental building blocks of - ANSWER: Matter

Energy that is transferred through space is referred to as: - ANSWER: Radiation

X-rays, gamma rays, and ultraviolet light are all forms of ________ radiation. -
ANSWER: Electromagnetic

A speeding electron has both - ANSWER: Mass and kinetic energy
