Binding Energy
Strength of electrons attachment to the nucleus. closer to the nucleus= greater binding energy
40
potential Energy
stored energy by virtue of position. the further from the nucleus the greater potential energy
41
kinetic energy is?
energy in motion; energy expanded
42
thermal energy
Heat
43
Electromagnetic energy
X-ray converts kinetic energy into electromagnetic energy in the form of X-ray
44
E=mc^2
energy= mass X the speed of light^2
45
what is the speed of light
186,000 MILES PER SEC. 3x10^8 m/sec 3x10^10 cm/sec
46
newtons first law of motion
body at rest will remain at restore will continue to move in a straight line unless it is disturbed
47
newtons Second law of motion
Force= Mass X Acceleration
48
do electrons move in a straight line?
No
49
what is the formula for electrons according do newtons second law of motion?
F=mV^2/r
50
what is ionization
Ionization is when an orbiting electron is removed from orbit creating an ion pair (+ charged atom & a - charged free electron
51
types of ionizing radiation
particulate radiation and Electromagnetic Radiation
52
Particulate radiation create what?
Alpha and Beta particles
53
Electromagnetic radiation create what ?
Gamma rays and X-rays
54
what are Alpha particles
2 Protons and 2 neutrons (+), large so they can not penetrate very far
55
what sub-atomic particle has the highest LET?
Alpha
56
What sub-atomic particle has the highest penetration ?
Beta
57
whats the minimum protection for Alpha particles?
Paper
58
whats the minimum protection for a Beta particle?
aluminum , wood 1Cm thick or 1 mm thick lead
59
what is the diff. between X-ray and Gamma ray?
their origin
60
X- ray origin?
inner shell electron interaction
61
Gamma ray origin?
nucleus interaction
62
what is the minimum effective dose for a student?
1 mSv annually (.1 rem)
63
what is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?
Inverse
64
what is the wavelength formula
Velocity= frequency X wavelength
65
Velocity
V= d/t ; m/s
66
Force
F=ma ; N
67
Work
Work= Fd ;J
68
Power
P=work/t ;W
69
what is a (R)
roentgen; coulomb/kilogram (C/kg)
70
what is (rad)
radiation absorbed dose; gray (Gy)
71
what is a (rem)
Radiation equivalent man sievert (Sv)
72
what is a (ci)
Curie; Becquerel (Bq)
73
what is the Gy used for?
used to quantify the biologic effects of radiation on humans and animals
74
what is the Sv used for?
used to quantify occupational exposure; effective dose; biological effectiveness dose
75
the curie/Becquerel is used for?
used to quantify Radioactivity; quantity of radioactive material not its effects on radiation being emitted
76
1 rem is_____mSv
10mSv
77
100 mrem=_____mSv
1 mSv
78
Radiolucent
radiation can penetrate through it (soft tissue)
79
Radiopaque
radiation gets absorbed by it (bone)
80
inverse square law
the intensity of the new distance will be the inverse of the distance squared (indirectly related and not proportional)
