The selection of the proper type of film to be used for the x-ray examination of a particular part depends on: D A. the thickness of the part. B. the material of the specimen. C. the voltage range of the available x-ray machine. D. all three of the above factors.

406. Radiographic sensitivity, in the context of the minimum detectable flaw size, depends on: D A. graininess of the film. B. the unsharpness of the flaw image in the film. C. the contrast of the flaw image on the film. D. all three of the above.

407. Any of the body tissues may be injured by excessive exposure to X or gamma rays but particularly sensitive are: D A. blood. B. lens of the eye. C. internal organs. D. all of the above.

408. X-ray exposure may be due to: C A. the direct beam from the x-ray tube target. B. scatter radiation arising from objects in the direct beam. C. both A and B above.
