coarse-grain films are advantageous because they require considerably less time in the developer, stop bath and fixer solutions

Feedback

advantageous to make exposures as fast as possible

L2
Wavelength is usually described as the distance between two angstrom units.

L2
Angstrom units are used to measure the wavelength of X and Gamma rays.

L2
If the discontinuity in an object was less dense than the specimen, then it would appear on the film as a dark spot.

L9
the developer solution transforms the silver bromide crystals to metallic silver causing the film to turn black

L5
if a 500KEV photon enters an atom that has a binding force of 50KEV and removes an electron by giving it an energy of 50KEV, then the new photon would have an energy of 400KEV

L5
if a 500KEV photon enters an atom that has a binding force of 50KEV and removes an electron by giving it an energy of 50KEV, then the new photon would have an energy of 400KEV

L9
artifacts are often caused by improper use of safe-lights in the darkroom

Feedback

dust, improper handling, static marks etc. are the cause of artifacts

L5

A curie is the equivalent of:

L3
Back scattered radiation is often caused by low energy X-rays whose electron path was changed within the film.

L3
Gradual changes in specimen thickness produce radiographs that show excellent definition.

Feedback

An abrupt change in thickness produces excellent definition.

L9
excessive voltage across the x-ray tube will cause static marks on the radiographic film

Feedback

static marks (artifacts) are due improper film handling

Radiographic sensitivity, in the context of the minimum detectable flaw size, depends on:

L5
A “hard” x-ray travels faster than a “soft” x-ray, and that is why the “hard” x-rays have more energy.
Feedback
regardless of curie strength (activity)/size of an isotope the energy of individual rays remains the same
