what contacts tungsten target Correct Answer: electrons
xrays are between Correct Answer: UV and gamma rays
attenuation Correct Answer: xrays weakens at it travels thru matter
receptor Correct Answer: film that is processed
two types of ionizing radiation Correct Answer: electromagnetic
particulate
electromagnetic radiation Correct Answer: movement of energy as a
combo of electrical and magnetic fields
shorter wavelength Correct Answer: higher energy
particulate radiation Correct Answer: alpha and beta particles from
radioactive decay
atomic nuclei or subatmoic particles moving at high velocity
two types of xray production Correct Answer: bremsstrahlung
bremsstrahlung Correct Answer: primary source of xray photons
electron strikes target and brakes giving off energy
generates continous spectrum of energy
characteristic Correct Answer: seconday source of xray photons
emits photon of specific energy
