5. What be the result if a film is placed in a developer solution and allowed to develop without any
agitation and tapping?
a) The radiograph will exhibit dichroic fog.
b) It will be impossible to fix the radiograph permanently.
c) Yellow fog will appear over the entire radiograph.
d) Bromide streaking and white spots may result.
6. A standard radiograph of a weld containing inclusion of a lower density (weight per unit volume)
than the weld metal, these will appear as:
a) dark intermittent or continuous lines.
b) light irregular lines.
c) either dark or light spots.
d) dark spots.
b) decrease the sensitivity of the radiographic image, when compare to a bare film taken at the
correct exposure.
c) improve radiographic contrast.
d) should not be used when x-ray are being used.
9. Radiographic sensitivity, in the context of the minimum detectable flaw size, depend on:
a) graininess of the film.
b) the unsharpness of the flaw image in the film.
c) the contrast of the image in the film.
d) all three of the above.
10. Accidental exposure of radiographic film to gamma ray source will most likely result in:
a) a fogged film.
b) an increase in radiographic contrast.
c) light spots over the film.
d) a yellow stain.
11. Black crescent shaped marks on an exposed radiographic film will most likely have resulted from:
a) crimping the film after exposure.
b) crimping the film before exposure.
c) sudden extreme temperature changes while processing.
d) warm of exhausted fixer.
12. Reticulation resulting in a puckered or netlike film surface is probably caused by:
a) crimping film after exposure.
b) sudden extreme temperature change while processing.
c) water or developer on unprocessed film.
d) excessive object to film distance.
c) display a characteristic curve to the left of faster film if superimposed onto the same graph.
d) give grainy appearance to the final radiograph.
19. The small area in the x-ray tube from which the x-radiation emerges from is called the:
a) filament.
b) focal spot.
c) cathode.
d) focusing cap.
21. Two different gamma isotope type, e.g. Co 60 and Ir 192, of same activity:
a) will produce different wavelengths of radiation.
b) will produce the same intensity and wavelength of radiation.
c) will produce the same qualities but may produce different intensities of radiation.
d) will require the same radiographic exposure to produce the same density on resultant
radiographs.
23. What is the purpose of the stop bath during manual film processing?
a) To change the expose silver salt to black metallic silver.
b) To eliminate water spot and streaks.
c) To neutralize the developer and stop the developing process.
d) None of the above.
24. How is it possible to compensate for a large x-ray tube focal spot size to reduce penumbra?
a) Increase the kilovoltage.
b) Use lead screens.

25. Calcium tungstate screens used in industrial radiography are usually used to:
a) improve definition in radiographic images.
b) improve contrast in radiographic images.
c) decrease exposure time.
d) make films with multi million volt radiation.
27. The two most common causes for excessively high density radiographs are:
a) insufficient washing and over development.
b) contaminated fixer and insufficient washing.
c) over exposure and contaminated fixer.
d) over exposure and over development.
28. When radiography apart which contains a large crack, they will appear on the radiograph as:
a) a dark, intermitted or continuous line.
b) a light, irregular line.
c) either a dark or light line.
d) a fogged area on the radiograph.
