What happens when radio-frequency energy is absorbed in the tissue of your body?
-
Nothing
-
Heat if produced
-
Your heart beats irregularly
Correct Answer
A. Heat if producedExplanation
When radio-frequency energy is absorbed in the tissue of your body, it generates heat. This is because the energy is converted into thermal energy, causing an increase in temperature in the surrounding tissue. The production of heat is a common effect of radio-frequency energy absorption and can have various implications depending on the intensity and duration of exposure.Rate this question:

The maximum noise level that is considered to be relatively safe is
-
75dBA
-
84dBA
-
96dBA
Correct Answer
A. 84dBAExplanation
The maximum noise level that is considered to be relatively safe is 84dBA. This level is considered safe because it falls within the range of noise levels that are not likely to cause immediate harm to the human ear. Noise levels above 85dBA can cause hearing damage with prolonged exposure, so 84dBA is just below that threshold. It is important to note that even at this level, long-term exposure can still have negative effects on hearing, so it is best to minimize exposure to loud noises whenever possible.Rate this question:

The variables upon which radiation hazards depend do not include the
-
Strength of emission
-
Time (length) of exposure
-
Experience of the operator
Correct Answer
A. Time (length) of exposureExplanation
The variables upon which radiation hazards depend include the strength of emission and the experience of the operator. The strength of emission refers to the intensity or power of the radiation being emitted, which can determine the level of exposure and potential harm. The experience of the operator is also crucial as it determines their knowledge and ability to handle radiation safely. However, the time (length) of exposure does not directly affect the hazards of radiation. Whether a person is exposed for a short or long duration, the strength of emission and the operator's experience remain the primary factors in determining the risk.Rate this question:
