Radiation Health & SafetyCâu 20 / 100
According to the inverse square law, if the distance from the x-ray source to the receptor is doubled, the beam intensity at the receptor becomes:
a.Twice as intense
b.Half as intense
c.Four times as intense
d.One-fourth as intense
Giải thích
The inverse square law states that intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, so doubling the distance reduces intensity to one-fourth. Halving the intensity would correspond to a different relationship that the law does not describe. Intensity decreases rather than increases as distance grows, so the options describing greater intensity are incorrect.
