Radiological Safety Training for Radiation-Producing (X-Ray) Devices
Instructor's Guide
Lesson Plan
Instructor's Notes
7. Identify how energy relates to radiation dose.
8. Discuss the effects of voltage, current, and
filtration on X-rays.
B.
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
i.
Types of Electromagnetic Radiation.
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
Objective 2
Other types of electromagnetic radiation are radio
waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light,
ultraviolet, and gamma rays. The types of radiation
are distinguished by the amount of energy carried
by the individual photons.
All electromagnetic radiation consists of photons,
which are individual packets of energy. For
example, a household light bulb emits about 1021
photons of light (non-ionizing radiation) per
second.
The energy carried by individual photons, which is
measured in electron volts (eV), is related to the
frequency of the radiation. Different types of
electromagnetic radiation and their typical photon
energies are listed in the following table.
