DISCOVERY SECTION
Multiple Choice
1. Who Is Credited With The Discovery Of X-Rays In 1895?
A) Marie Curie
B) Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen
C) Thomas Edison
D) Albert Einstein
ANS: B)
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen Is Credited With The Discovery Of X-Rays In 1895. He
Accidentally Discovered X-Rays While Experimenting With Cathode Rays And
Recognized Their Ability To Penetrate Opaque Materials And Produce Images On
Photographic Plates.
REF: P.1
2. Which Of The Following Was One Of The Early Dangers Associated With X-Ray
Exposure?
A) Severe Burns
B) Bone Fractures
C) Headaches
D) Increased Blood Pressure
ANS: A)
In The Early Days Of X-Ray Usage, The Harmful Effects Of Radiation Exposure Were
Not Fully Understood. As A Result, Radiation Burns Were A Common Issue For Early
Practitioners And Patients. Over Time, The Harmful Effects Of Radiation, Including Skin
Burns And Long-Term Tissue Damage, Led To The Development Of Safety Protocols.

REF: P.3
3. Which Scientist Contributed To The Understanding Of X-Ray Production By
Conducting Experiments With Cathode Rays?
A) Albert Einstein
B) Thomas Edison
C) J.J. Thomson
D) Nikola Tesla
ANS: B)
Thomas Edison, Though Not The Discoverer Of X-Rays, Made Significant Contributions
To The Understanding Of X-Ray Production By Working With Cathode Rays. Edison
Developed The Fluoroscope, An Early Device For Visualizing X-Ray Images, And
Conducted Experiments To Investigate The Nature Of The New Radiation.
REF: P.2
4. What Was One Of The Immediate Public Reactions To The Discovery Of X-Rays?
A) Widespread Panic And Fear
B) Immediate Acceptance And Use In Hospitals
C) Curiosity And Excitement About Its Potential
D) Rejection By The Medical Community
ANS: C)
The Discovery Of X-Rays Was Met With Widespread Excitement And Curiosity. The
Medical Community And The General Public Were Intrigued By The Potential Uses Of
X-Rays, Which Sparked A Wave Of Experimentation And Early Adoption, Especially In
Medical Imaging And Diagnosis.
REF: P.4
5. Which Scientist Coined The Term "Radioactivity" After Discovering The Phenomenon
In Uranium?
A) Marie Curie
B) Albert Einstein
, Fauber's Radiographic Imaging and Exposure 7th Edition, (2024) Test Bank
C) Wilhelm Röntgen
D) Ernest Rutherford
ANS: A)
Marie Curie, Along With Her Husband Pierre Curie, Discovered Radioactivity In 1898
While Studying Uranium. Her Research Was Crucial In Understanding Radioactive
Decay And The Properties Of Radiation, Which Extended The Field Of Radiation
Science Beyond X-Rays.
REF: P.4
6. How Did Röntgen Initially Confirm The Existence Of X-Rays?
A) By Observing Their Ability To Pass Through Metal
B) By Measuring Their Effect On Photographic Plates
C) By Detecting Them Using A Geiger Counter
D) By Using Them To Treat A Patient’s Disease
ANS: B)
Röntgen Confirmed The Existence Of X-Rays By Observing Their Ability To Expose
Photographic Plates, Even Without Direct Exposure To Light. This Provided Strong
Evidence That X-Rays Were A Form Of Radiation Capable Of Passing Through Various
Materials, Including The Human Body.
REF: P.5
7. Which Of The Following Did Not Contribute Directly To The Discovery Of X-Rays?
A) Cathode Rays
B) Fluorescence
C) Electricity
D) The Discovery Of Radio Waves
ANS: D)
While The Study Of Cathode Rays, Fluorescence, And Electricity Played Significant
Roles In The Discovery Of X-Rays, The Discovery Of Radio Waves Was Unrelated To
X-Ray Discovery. X-Rays Were Discovered Through Experimentation With Cathode

Rays And The Observation Of Their Unexpected Effects, Not Through The Study Of
Radio Waves.
REF: P.5
8. In Which Year Did Wilhelm Röntgen Discover X-Rays?
A) 1889
B) 1895
C) 1901
D) 1910
ANS: B)
Wilhelm Röntgen Made His Groundbreaking Discovery Of X-Rays In November 1895.
His Discovery Was Swift, And He Soon Realized The Potential Medical Applications,
Which Led To Rapid Adoption In The Medical Field.
REF: P.5
9. What Was The First Medical Application Of X-Rays?
A) Imaging A Broken Bone
B) Diagnosing Lung Diseases
C) Detecting Tumors
D) Treating Cancer
ANS: A)
The First Medical Application Of X-Rays Was To Visualize A Broken Bone. In 1896,
Just A Year After Röntgen’s Discovery, An American Physician, Dr. John Hall-Edwards,
Used X-Rays To Examine A Patient's Fractured Bone, Marking A Major Milestone In
Medical Radiology.
REF: P.4
10. What Term Did Röntgen Initially Use To Describe The Newly Discovered Radiation?
A) Beta Rays
B) Alpha Rays
C) X-Rays
