You have your patient in the chair, you have placed the receptor in your patient’s mouth, and you have positioned the position indicating device.  Which of the following should you do next to take the x-rays?

X-rays are produced by:

What determines the energy of the photon produced in a Bremsstrahlung interaction?

The graph below shows a change in the x-ray beam spectrum representing a change in:

The half value layer (HVL) of an x-ray beam is a measurement of beam __________________________.

The energy of the brems photon depends on:

When an outer orbital electron absorbs energy from an incident electron, jumps up a level but does not get ejected from the atom, this process is called _________________________________________.

Increasing the strength of the magnetic field results in:

According to your text book, when exposing a posterior bitewing, the central ray of the x-ray beam is directed through the contacts of the teeth, using a (slightly downward) vertical angulation of ______degrees. [BLANK-1]

In one sentence, distinguish “climate” from “weather”.
