Radiograph Formula

This document provides formulas and calculations for key radiography concepts including: 1) The inverse square law which describes how radiation intensity decreases with distance from the source. 2) Reciprocity which states that equal exposures can be achieved by varying the product of current and time. 3) Geometric magnification which is the ratio of an object's image size on film to the actual object size. 4) Attenuation which describes how radiation intensity decreases as it passes through absorbing material.
