define electromagnetic energy

referred to electromagnetic radiation when traveling though space

energy associated with gravitational fields

energy produced by nuclear reactions

is the energy stored in chemical bonds

what is ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation is radiation that has enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules, can remove a tightly bound electron from orbit

Ionizing radiation is a form of visible light.

Ionizing radiation is a type of sound wave, does not have enough energy to remove an election from orbit. so the atom does not have a charge

Ionizing radiation is harmless and does not affect living organisms.

what is non ionizing radiation

radiation without enough energy to separate molecules or remove electrons from atom, so atom does not have a charge

There is enough energy that can remove a tightly bound electron from orbit

spontaneous transformation of unstable atom results in emission of radiation

harmful and does affect living organisms

spontaneous transformation of an unstable atom and often results in emission of radiation

the phenomenon of sound waves traveling through space.

the process of creating stable atomic nuclei.

refers to the absorption of radiation by materials.

define radioactive material

any material contains radioactive atoms

any material that produces sound waves

define radioactive contamination

radioactive material distributed over area, equipment or person

radioactive material being contained

How is MRI signal production different then x-rays

MRI signal production involves magnetic fields and radio waves (non-ionizing) X-rays use ionizing radiation.

MRI uses ionizing radiation like X-ray

X-rays produce images using magnetic fields MRI does not

MRI relies on sound waves for signal production

What are the 2 common forms of ionizing radiation

electromagnetic waves & electrons

A particle is a small localized object with physical properties such as mass or volume.

A particle is a large object with no physical properties.

A particle is a type of wave that travels through space.

A particle is an abstract concept with no real-world application.

Alpha decay is the emission of an alpha particle (2 protons) from an unstable nucleus, resulting in a new element.

Alpha decay involves the absorption of a beta particle by a stable nucleus.

Alpha decay is the process of splitting an atom into 2 smaller atoms without particle emission.

Alpha decay occurs when an atom gains an electron, increasing its mass.

Beta decay is the process by which an unstable nucleus emits a beta particle, transforming a neutron into a proton or proton into a neutron.

Beta decay occurs when an atom loses an electron from its outer shell.

Beta decay is the process of a nucleus absorbing a neutron.

Beta decay involves the fusion of two protons, and nothing is emitted.

Gamma decay is the emission of gamma rays from an unstable nucleus, after beta or alpha decay.

Gamma decay involves the absorption of gamma rays by a stable nucleus.

Gamma decay is the process of splitting an atom into smaller parts.

Gamma decay is the release of beta particles from a nucleus.

What is being emitted during alpha, beta, and gamma decay?

alpha : alpha particles (2 protons & 2 neutrons) beta : beta particle (electron or a proton) gamma : gamma rays (photons)

alpha : alpha particles beta : gamma particle gamma : x-rays

alpha : beta particles beta : neutron particle gamma : gamma rays

alpha : just particles beta : small particle gamma : microwaves

define derived quantity

A derived quantity is a physical quantity that is derived from fundamental quantities.

A derived quantity is a theoretical concept without practical application.

A derived quantity is unrelated to fundamental quantities.

A derived quantity is a basic unit of measurement.

Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that provides real-time X-ray imaging.

Fluoroscopy is a technique used for blood tests.

Fluoroscopy is a type of ultrasound imaging.

Fluoroscopy is a method for measuring blood pressure.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.

Acceleration is the speed of an object in a straight line.

Acceleration is the total distance traveled by an object.

Acceleration is the force applied to an object.

What is barium platinocyanide

a phosphor that glows when excited with x-rays (same phosphor with which Roentgen experimenting when discovering x-rays)

phosphor that does not glow in the dark

part of the x-ray machine to emit rays

what is the difference between wavelength and frequency

Wavelength is the distance between waves, and frequency is the number of waves per time unit.

Wavelength is the amplitude of a wave, and frequency is the color of light.

Wavelength and frequency are the same concept, just different terms.

Wavelength is the speed of light, and frequency is the energy of a wave.

What does the electromagnetic spectrum include

includes entire range of electromagnetic energy

Is diagnostic ultrasound part of electromagnetic spectrum

No, diagnostic ultrasound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Uses sound waves

Yes, diagnostic ultrasound is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Diagnostic ultrasound is a type of X-ray.

Diagnostic ultrasound uses gamma rays for imaging.
