    Terra / BTX uses X-rays to produce the desired X-ray diffraction pattern or X-ray fluorescence spectrum.  These X-rays are produced from:

    • A.

      A radioactive isotope within the instrument

    • B.

      A gamma ray neutron source within the instrument

    • C.

      An X-ray tube operating at 30Kv

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. An X-ray tube operating at 30Kv
    Explanation
    An X-ray tube operating at 30Kv is used to produce the desired X-ray diffraction pattern or X-ray fluorescence spectrum in Terra/BTX. The X-ray tube generates X-rays by accelerating electrons using a high voltage of 30Kv. These accelerated electrons collide with a metal target in the tube, resulting in the emission of X-rays. These X-rays are then used to produce the desired patterns or spectra for analysis.

    Radiation which has sufficient energy to remove electrons from atoms in materials through which the radiation passes is called ionizing radiation.  Examples of ionizing radiation include all but:

    • A.

      Alpha particle radiation

    • B.

      Neutrons

    • C.

      X-rays

    • D.

      Radio waves

    Correct Answer
    D. Radio waves
    Explanation
    Ionizing radiation refers to radiation that has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms in materials. This process, known as ionization, can have harmful effects on living organisms and materials. Alpha particle radiation, neutrons, and x-rays are all examples of ionizing radiation, as they possess sufficient energy to ionize atoms. On the other hand, radio waves do not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and therefore do not fall under the category of ionizing radiation.

  • 7. 

    The damaging effects of radiation depend not only on its intensity and duration, but also the type of radiation.  For instance, 1 millicurie of tritium a centimeter from the body poses a much different hazard than 1 millicurie of phosphorus-32 a centimeter from the body. Consequently, it is often preferable to measure radiation by describing the effect of that radiation on the materials through which it passes.  The units for biological effects of radiation are:

    • A.

      Exposure

    • B.

      Absorbed Dose

    • C.

      Dose Equivalent

    • D.

      REM/Sievert

    Correct Answer
    D. REM/Sievert
    Explanation
    The units for biological effects of radiation are REM/Sievert because they take into account not only the intensity and duration of the radiation, but also the type of radiation and its effect on the materials it passes through. REM (Roentgen Equivalent Man) is a unit that measures the biological effect of radiation on human tissue, while Sievert is the International System of Units (SI) equivalent of REM. These units provide a more comprehensive measurement of the potential harm caused by radiation exposure.

    All of the following are true EXCEPT:

    • A.

      Two waves with identical frequencies must interfere constructively

    • B.

      Constructive interference is associated with waves that are in phase

    • C.

      Out of phase waves interfere destructively

    • D.

      Waves of different frequencies may exhibit both contructive and destructive interference at different times

    Correct Answer
    A. Two waves with identical frequencies must interfere constructively
    Explanation
    This statement is false because waves with identical frequencies can interfere destructively if they are out of phase. Constructive interference occurs when waves are in phase, meaning their crests and troughs align, resulting in a larger amplitude. However, if the waves are out of phase, their crests and troughs do not align, leading to destructive interference and a smaller overall amplitude.

    A. 30 KHZ
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 30 KHZ. Ultrasonic sound waves have a frequency above the range of human hearing, typically above 20 kHz. Diagnostic imaging techniques such as ultrasound use high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal body structures. Since 30 KHZ is the lowest frequency among the given options, it is the least useful in diagnostic imaging as it falls below the typical range of ultrasonic frequencies used in this field.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    What is the frequency of a wave with 1msec period?

    • A.

      10,000 Hz

    • B.

      1,000 kHz

    • C.

      1kHz

    • D.

      1MHz

    Correct Answer
    C. 1kHz
    Explanation
    The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles it completes in one second. In this question, it is given that the wave has a period of 1 millisecond. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle. Since there are 1,000 milliseconds in one second, the wave completes 1,000 cycles in one second. Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1kHz (1,000 Hz).

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    If the frequency of an US wave is doubled, what happens to the period?

    • A.

      Doubles

    • B.

      Halved

    • C.

      Remains the same

    • D.

      4 times greater

    Correct Answer
    B. Halved
    Explanation
    When the frequency of an ultrasound wave is doubled, the period of the wave is halved. This is because frequency and period are inversely proportional to each other. Frequency is the number of wave cycles per second, while period is the time it takes for one complete wave cycle. When the frequency is doubled, it means that the number of wave cycles per second has increased, so each wave cycle takes less time to complete, resulting in a halved period.

    If the level of an acoustic variable ranges from 55 to 105, what is the amplitude?

    • A.

      105

    • B.

      50

    • C.

      25

    • D.

      55

    Correct Answer
    C. 25
    Explanation
    The amplitude of an acoustic variable refers to the maximum displacement or distance from the equilibrium position. In this case, the level of the acoustic variable ranges from 55 to 105. Since the amplitude is the maximum displacement, it would be the difference between the highest and lowest values, which is 105 - 55 = 50. Therefore, the correct answer is 50.

    If the intensity of a sound beam remains unchanged while the beam area is reduced in half, what happened to the power?

    • A.

      Quadrupled

    • B.

      Doubled

    • C.

      Halved

    • D.

      Unchanged

    Correct Answer
    C. Halved
    Explanation
    When the beam area is reduced in half, the same amount of power is spread over a smaller area. This means that the power density (power per unit area) increases. Since power is directly proportional to the product of intensity and area, and the intensity remains unchanged, the only way for the power to decrease is if the area is halved. Therefore, the power is halved when the beam area is reduced in half.

    If we increase the transducer diameter, the beam diameter in the far zone is:

    • A.

      Increased

    • B.

      Decreased

    • C.

      Unchanges

    Correct Answer
    B. Decreased
    Explanation
    When the transducer diameter is increased, the beam diameter in the far zone is decreased. This is because the far zone is the region where the beam has already diverged and spread out. Increasing the transducer diameter means that the beam will have a larger initial width, causing it to diverge less as it propagates. As a result, the beam diameter in the far zone will be smaller, leading to a decrease in size.

    If the transducer diameter increases, the lateral resolution at its smallest dimension is

    • A.

      Increased

    • B.

      Decreased

    • C.

      Unchanged

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased
    Explanation
    When the transducer diameter increases, the lateral resolution at its smallest dimension is increased. This is because a larger transducer diameter allows for a wider beam width, which results in a larger focal zone. As a result, the ultrasound waves diverge less and can provide better lateral resolution, allowing for more detailed imaging and distinguishing smaller structures.

    If we increase the frequency the near zone length is

    • A.

      Increased

    • B.

      Decreased

    • C.

      Unchanged

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased
    Explanation
    When the frequency is increased, the near zone length is increased. This is because the near zone length is inversely proportional to the frequency. As the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases, causing the near zone length to increase.

    If the frequency is decreased, the numerical value of the radial resolution is

    • A.

      Increased

    • B.

      Decreased

    • C.

      Unchanged

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased
    Explanation
    When the frequency is decreased, the numerical value of the radial resolution is increased. Radial resolution refers to the ability to distinguish between two closely spaced objects. Decreasing the frequency means that the wavelength becomes longer, resulting in a larger distance between consecutive wave peaks. This larger distance allows for better differentiation between objects, leading to an increased radial resolution.

    If the spatial pulse length is 10 mm, what is the axial resolution?

    • A.

      0.5 cm

    • B.

      5 cm

    • C.

      10 mm

    • D.

      1 cm

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.5 cm
    Explanation
    The axial resolution is determined by the spatial pulse length, which is the distance between the start and end of a pulse. In this case, the spatial pulse length is given as 10 mm. The axial resolution is typically half of the spatial pulse length, so the axial resolution would be 0.5 cm.

    Which of the following is the best lateral resolution?

    • A.

      15 mm

    • B.

      6 mm

    • C.

      0.06 cm

    • D.

      2 cm

    Correct Answer
    C. 0.06 cm
    Explanation
    The best lateral resolution is 0.06 cm. Lateral resolution refers to the ability of an imaging system to distinguish between two closely spaced objects. A smaller value indicates a higher resolution, meaning that the system can differentiate between objects that are closer together. Therefore, a lateral resolution of 0.06 cm is the best option among the given choices as it provides the highest level of detail and accuracy in distinguishing objects.

    The interaction of microscopic bubbles and ultrasound form the basis for cavitation bioeffects.  Which of the following forms of cavitation are most likely to produce microstreaming in the intracellular fluid and shear stresses?

    • A.

      Stable cavitation

    • B.

      Normal cavitation

      Transient cavitation

    • D.

      Inertial cavitation

    • E.

      Active cavitation

    Correct Answer
    A. Stable cavitation
    Explanation
    Stable cavitation is the most likely form of cavitation to produce microstreaming in the intracellular fluid and shear stresses. In stable cavitation, the bubbles oscillate in size and shape but do not collapse completely. This oscillation creates microstreaming, which refers to the movement of fluid around the bubbles. The microstreaming effect can cause shear stresses on the surrounding intracellular fluid, leading to various bioeffects.
