    L5the energy of a photon cannot be destroyed but can be converted into other forms by the photoelectric and Compton effects

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because according to the principles of the photoelectric effect and Compton effect, the energy of a photon can be converted into other forms. In the photoelectric effect, when photons strike a material surface, they can transfer their energy to electrons, causing them to be emitted from the surface. In the Compton effect, photons can transfer some of their energy to electrons during scattering. Therefore, while the energy of a photon cannot be destroyed, it can be transformed into other forms through these effects.

    The best X-ray efficiency is produced when the target material has

    • A low atomic number

    • A high atomic number

    • A low hardness

    • A high hardness

    Correct Answer
    A. A high atomic number
    Explanation
    The best X-ray efficiency is produced when the target material has a high atomic number. This is because X-rays are produced when high-energy electrons collide with the target material. A high atomic number means that the target material has more protons in its nucleus, resulting in a greater number of electrons available for interaction. These interactions lead to a higher probability of X-ray production, resulting in increased X-ray efficiency.

    In performing a fluoroscopic examination of a part, it is important to control

    • Geometry

    • Scatter radiation

    • Source kilovoltage and milliamperage

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    In performing a fluoroscopic examination of a part, it is important to control the geometry, scatter radiation, and source kilovoltage and milliamperage. Geometry refers to the positioning and alignment of the equipment and the patient, which is crucial for obtaining accurate images. Scatter radiation needs to be minimized to ensure clear and high-quality images. Source kilovoltage and milliamperage are controlled to optimize the contrast and exposure levels. Therefore, all of these factors need to be controlled to ensure a successful fluoroscopic examination.
