Although there may be other reasons for using calcium tungstate screens in industrial radiography, they are most usually used to:

L2
The “electromagnetic spectrum” describes the family of electromagnetic waves relative to their frequency and wavelength.

Very short wavelength electromagnetic radiation produced when electrons traveling at high speeds collide with matter is called:

An excellent radiograph is obtained under given exposure conditions with a tube current of 5 milliamperes and an exposure time of 12 minutes. If other conditions are not changed, what exposure time would be required if the X-ray tube current could be raised to 10 milliamperes?

The intensity of X or Gamma radiation is measured in:

L9
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

The ability to detect a small discontinuity or flaw is called:

Fluoroscopy differs from radiography in that:

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
the energy of a photon cannot be destroyed, but can be converted into other forms by the photoelectric and compton effects

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.

Feedback

Back scatter = scatter residing from the back of the film

In X-radiography, the ability to penetrate the test object is governed by:

L9
most radiographic film uses clear acetate or polyester base with emulsion on both sides

Which of the following types of radiation is emitted by cobalt-60 and used in nondestructive testing:

The lead symbol “B” is attached to the back of the film holder to determine:

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

Feedback

An abrupt change in thickness produces excellent definition.

A densitometer is:

Three liquids which are essential to process an exposed film properly are:

Approximately what percent of the original radioactivity is left after six half-lives:

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
