  3. 8. electrical current
  4. 10. these develop over a long period of exposure
  5. 12. photon strikes inner shell electron, causing its ejection
  6. 14. x-rays leaving the tube spread out
  7. 15. background radiation
  8. 16. forms of energy emitted and transferred through matter
  9. 20. no dose exists below which risk of damage does not exist
  10. 23. mnemonic to keep radiation low
