Question
Answer
1. What types of waves are apart of the electromagnetic spectrum?   show
🗑
2. Define wavelength   show
🗑
show The number of wave cycles per second. pg 225  
🗑
4. What is frequency measured in?   show
🗑
show It has the energetic potential to break apart electrically neutral atoms, which results in the release of -/+ ions, pg 226  
🗑
show Late. pg 226  
🗑
show Radiation we are exposed to in the food we eat or the ground we live on or found naturally in the air we breathe and in our bodies. pg 226  
🗑
8. What is attenuation?   show
🗑
show The inner shell, so an outside electron moves down into its place to complete the octet. pg 228  
🗑
show Outer shell, this electron released is called a recoil electron. pg 228  
🗑
11. Does scatter effect the image or personnel?   show
🗑
show The response to exposure is directly related to the dose received. Dose ^ Biologic damage ^ pg 230  
🗑
show The term that refers to dose below a certain value in which no harmful effects are likely; or the point at which the dose begins. pg 230  
🗑
14. Low LET =increase biologic effect?   show
🗑
show In a non-threshold curve, no. But in threshold there can be a safe amount of radiation which could =0. pg 231  
🗑
16. What is a non-stochastic effect?   show
🗑
17. What is a deterministic effect?   show
🗑
show The foremost late effects that are expected to occur. Ex: cancer, gentic effects, somatic effects. pg 232  
🗑
19. What cells are most radiosensitive?   show
🗑
show EfD= radiation weighting factor (Wr) x tissue weighting factor (Wt) x absorbed dose (D) pg 233  
🗑
show LET, linear energy transfer. pg 234  
🗑
22. Most interaction of scatter radiation in the body occur with water?   show
🗑
23. What is the least radio-sensitive stage of the cell cycle?   show
🗑
24. Does oxygen effect radio-sensitivity?   show
🗑
25. What is the genetically significant dose?   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
