Produced when high speed electrons are slowed or stopped suddenly.

25
Three types of radiation that have MORE energy than visible light.
x-rays gamma rays cosmic rays
26
Two types of radiation which have LESS energy than visible light.
radio rays | micro rays
27
Wavelength
distance from CREST to CREST
28
Distance from CREST to CREST
Wavelength
29
How is wavelength measured?
in Angstroms
30
Angstroms
How wavelength is measured
31
The HIGH point of a wave.
CREST
32
SHORT wavelength has _____energy and _____penetration.
SHORT=HIGH energy | MORE penetration
33
10 Characteristics of x-rays
* High energy waves * No mass * No charge (neutral) * Travel at speed of light * Invisible * Travel in straight lines * Cannot be focused with a lens * Adversely affect living tissue (first sign of radiation poisoning reddening of skin or erythema) * Cause fluoresce
34
X-rays have a _____ wavelength and a _____ frequency
SHORT wavelength | HIGH frequency
35
Frequency
NUMBER of CRESTS passing a fixed point

37
How are X-rays measured?
Through ionization
38
Measured through ionization
x-rays
39
ionization
production of ions or ion pairs | -by removal of outer ELECTRONS
40
Production of ions or ion pairs | -by removal of outer ELECTRONS
Ionization
41
Formed when an electron is removed from an atom in the ionization process
Ion pairs
42
RAD
Radiation Absorbed Dose - Amount of energy absorbed by tissue - International term=GRAY
43
- Amount of energy absorbed by tissue | - International term=GRAY
RAD
44
REM
Roentgen Equivalent Man | -Unit of exposure of any type of radiation to which body tissues are exposed
45
How do x-rays affect the cells in the body?
- By breaking the cell bonds - killing the cells - changing the cells from normal to abnormal
46
* Provide information about things that you cannot see with the naked eye. * Part of complete diagnosis * See internal structures of the teeth and jaw. * Used to determine the presence of certain diseases. * Needed for a full diagnosis by the dentist.
Purposes of radiographs
47
* Relied upon to take good quality radiographs. * Depended on to process, mount correctly. * Safe use of dental equipment. * Educate the patient about use of dental radiographs.
Roles of dental auxillary
48
What is the difference between HARD and SOFT radiation?
Hard radiation has SHORTER wavelengths. GREATER penetrations, 0.1-0.5 A Soft radiation has LONGER wavelengths and is not useful to dentistry. Grenz rays
49
HARD radiation has ______ wavelengths and _____ penetration.
SHORTER wavelengths | GREATER penetration
50
What is the exposure dose?
The amount of radiation directed and absorbed at the patient
51
The amount of radiation directed and absorbed at the patient per unit of time.
Exposure dose
52
How is exposure dose expressed?
RADs/sec
53
Quality factor
Exposure effects of different types of radiation on a common scale
54
