Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
It is generally desirable that X-ray films be all of the following except:
A
high speed.
B
fine grain size
C
sensitive to visible light
D
coated with emulsion on both sides.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The emulsion is different from those used in other types of photography films to account for the distinct characteristics of gamma rays and x-rays, but X-ray films are sensitive to light. Usually, the emulsion is coated on both sides of the base in layers about 0.0005 inch thick.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conventional x-ray film has an x-ray exposure sensitivity in the range of 50 mR to 150 mR if exposed directly by the x-radiation.. When the film is combined with intensifying screens, the sensitivity ranges from approximately 0.1 mR to 10 mR, depending on the type of screen and film used.

Detailed explanation-3: -The emulsion, which is sensitive to x rays and visible light, records the radiographic image.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most important layer for creating the image is the emulsion layer. The emulsion layer is the radiation-sensitive and light-sensitive layer of the film.
