Question 1 Radiographer Grade II 2026
For heavier nuclei, stability requires:
  1. A. Fewer neutrons than protons
  2. B. Equal neutrons and protons
  3. C. More neutrons than protons
  4. D. No neutrons

Correct answer: C. More neutrons than protons

Heavy nuclei need extra neutrons to offset proton–proton repulsion. This stabilizes the nucleus.
Question 2 Radiographer Grade II 2026
The half-life of cobalt-60 is approximately 5.26 years. Its mean life is approximately:
  1. A. 3.5 years
  2. B. 5.26 years
  3. C. 7.6 years
  4. D. 10 years

Correct answer: C. 7.6 years

Mean life = 1.44 × half-life. For Co‑60, 1.44 × 5.26 ≈ 7.6 years.
Question 3 Radiographer Grade II 2026
A generator operating at 100 kV and 500 mA has a capacity of:
  1. A. 5 KW
  2. B. 50 KW
  3. C. 500 kW
  4. D. 0.5 KW

Correct answer: B. 50 KW

Power = kV × mA = 100 × 0.5 = 50 kW.
Question 4 Radiographer Grade II 2026
For a tungsten target (Z = 74), what voltage is required to get efficiency ~ 0.01 (1%)?
  1. A. 100 kV
  2. B. 150 kV
  3. C. 200 kV
  4. D. 250 kV

Correct answer: B. 150 kV

Efficiency increases with tube voltage and atomic number. At ~150 kV, tungsten achieves ~1%.
Question 5 Radiographer Grade II 2026
Added filtration results in a beam with:
  1. A. Lower energy
  2. B. Higher average energy
  3. C. No energy change
  4. D. Reduced penetration

Correct answer: B. Higher average energy

Filtration removes low‑energy photons, raising the average beam energy.
