A crack allows greater amount of X-rays to pass, which appears on photographic film as:
Correct answer: C. Dark Area
- A. Blurry Area
- B. Bright Area
- C. Dark Area
- D. Red Area
Explanation
Explanation:A crack allows greater amount of X-rays to pass, which appears on photographic film as dark area. This option is not correct because a blurry area can occur due to a patient movement it other factors that can cause image degradation, but not due to a crack. These options are incorrect because X-rays donot produce colors, and therefore, the appearance of a bright or red area on the X-ray film is not possible.
