Maxwell Theory of Radiation
Radiation refers to the propagation of electromagnetic waves characterized by specific wavelengths and frequencies of vibrations. These waves travel at the speed of light and possess no electrical charge. On the contrary, the photon or quantum theory presents a contrasting viewpoint.

Maximum voltage
The magnitude of alternating current that can achieve an equal amount of work as its corresponding direct current value is known as the effective current. In an alternating current system, the maximum voltage is 1.41 times greater than the effective voltage.

Main switch
Typically, a double-blade, single-throw switch is employed in this context. When the switch is closed, it enables the passage of alternating current to the x-ray machine. This switch configuration allows for a straightforward operation, where both blades simultaneously make contact with their corresponding terminals upon closure. As a result, the circuit is completed, facilitating the…

Main gain control
In the realm of medical imaging, there exist several control mechanisms that influence the ability to penetrate the patient and produce optimal input and output results. These include input/output control, dampening control, and other related parameters. Input/output control regulates the power levels and intensities of the imaging system, striking a balance between achieving sufficient penetration…
