- 4. a tube or box fitted with a screen coated with a fluorescent substance, used for viewing objects, especially deep body structures, by means of x-ray or other radiation.
- 6. is energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light.
- 8. radiation a stream of atomic or subatomic particles that may be charged positively or negatively or not at all
- 9. platinocyanide it was the first radiation detector.
- 11. tube device invented by Sir William Crookes consisting essentially of a sealed glass tube from which nearly all the air has been removed and through the walls of which are passed two electrodes.
- 12. is the metallic electrode through which current flows out in a polarized electrical device
- 14. radiation is light that travels by oscillating in waves at a constant speed carrying energy.
- 15. tube a cathode ray tube used for x-ray production, in which a beam of thermoelectrons is produced by heating a wire cathode.
Down
- 1. an image produced on a radiosensitive surface, such as a photographic film, by radiation other than visible light, as by x-rays passed through an object.
- 2. is the light given off by certain substances when it absorbs light or other electromagnetic radiation.
- 3. tube device usually consisting of a sealed glass or metal-ceramic enclosure that is used in electronic circuitry to control a flow of electrons.
