speed of light
TLDs are heated and release what type of energy to indicate dose?
Visible light
Which of the following is not a known type of transformer?
High-voltage

What are of the anode is struck by electrons during exposure?
actual focal spot
This principle requires that the likelihood of incurring exposures, the number of people exposed and the magnitude of their individual exposures should all be kept as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account economic and societal factors.

Study Notes
Radiation and Radiation Protection
- Experiments have been conducted to determine which sex is most resistant to the effects of radiation.
- A fundamental principle of radiation protection is to keep the likelihood of incurring exposures, the number of people exposed, and the magnitude of their individual exposures as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account economic and societal factors.
Radiation Physics
- The equation E=mc2 is a consequence of Einstein's theory of relativity, where 'c' stands for the speed of light.
- TLDs (Thermoluminescent Dosimeters) release light energy when heated to indicate the dose of radiation exposure.
X-rays and Radiation Exposure
- The first observed biologic response to radiation exposure is characterized by sunburn-like reddening of the skin.
- Tenth-Value Layer (TVL) of X-rays is a measure of radiation absorption, but it is not true that it is a fundamental principle of radiation protection.
Medical Imaging and Equipment
- During exposure, the focal spot of the anode is struck by electrons.
- Control of the replenishment system is accomplished by a timer.
Transformers
- There are known types of transformers, but one type that is not known is not specified.
