Exam 1: Radiation and Its Discover

The Greek symbol lambda ( $\lambda$ )represents the x-ray's:

X-rays are able to interact with certain materials and produce light energy.

Barium platinocyanide was the:

The frequency of a wave is the number of waves passing a given point per given unit of time.Frequency is measured in:

X-rays carry a negative charge that causes ionization.

X-rays can:

X-rays produce a slight tingling sensation when they enter the body.

The letter x in x-ray is the symbol for:

The first radiograph produced by Roentgen, of his wife's hand, required an exposure time of:

X-rays used in radiography have wavelengths that are measured in:

In the formula c = $\lambda$ v, c represents:

The energy of an individual x-ray photon is measured in:

In the formula c = $\lambda$ v, v represents:

When first developed, the branch of medicine using x-rays was called:

Which of the following is a correct description of the relationship between the wavelength and frequency of the x-ray photon?

Since Roentgen's discovery in the late nineteenth century, we have learned an enormous amount about the properties of x-rays.

Chemical changes may occur as a result of exposure to ionizing radiation.

The first Nobel Prize for physics was received in 1901 by:

When were x-rays discovered?

X-ray photons are capable of traveling around corners.
