Occurs as a direct function of dose.

How are wavelength measured?

Which functions to dissipate the heat away from the tungsten target.

Is a form of secondary radiation and is the results of an x-ray that has been deflected from its path by the interaction with matter. It is deflected in all directions by the patient’s tissues and travels to all parts of the patient’s body and to all areas of the dental operatory.

What is the provincial bill which legislates dental radiography in Manitoba?

What determines the quality of x-ray formed during a single exposure?

What is the dentist’s responsibility in regards to radiation?

Which human cells are most sensitive to radiation?

Are somatic effects that have a threshold and that increase in severity with increasing absorbed dose.

What is charged negatively during the operation of the tube to produce x-rays?

Which focuses the electrons into a narrow beam and directs the beam across the tube toward the tungsten target of the anode.

Is a form of ionizing radiation that is ubiquitous in the environment. Naturally occurring background radiations includes cosmic radiation an terrestrial radiation.

What percentage of energy inside the x-ray tube is converted to x-radiation?

Which serves as a focal spot and converts bombarding electrons into x-rays photons,.

Are rapidly developing tissues more sensitive than mature cells?

X-rays interact with materials they penetrate and cause ionization

Who is radiation protection officer?

Coiled wire made of tungsten, which produce electrons when heated.

Uncharged atom or molecule that exists with a single, unpaired electron in its outer most shell.

On attraction, between the positive nucleus and negative electrons

_____ of radiation injuries suggests that all cell damage results when ionizing radiation directly hits critical areas

The quantity of the x-radiation or gamma radiation that produces an electrical charge of 2.58x10-4 coulombs in a kilogram of air at standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions.

The products of ions, or the process of converting an atom into ions.

The type of x-radiation best able to penetrate body tissue is composed of what?

Are electrons positive, negative or neutral?

What best describes the ionizing radiation absorbed by tissue at a specific point?

What human tissues are most sensitive to radiation?

X-rays cannot focused to as point and always diverge from a point

What is the MPD for an occupational worker per year?

What is the filters specific function?
