B)dark radiograph.
C)short exposure time.
D)decrease in radiographic density.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the primary beam is collimated from an activated chamber, the resulting radiograph will be dark because the collimator restricts the amount of radiation reaching the film or digital sensor, resulting in lower radiographic density. The exposure time may or may not be shorter, depending on the specific settings used for the collimator. However, this does not affect the overall darkness of the image. A light radiograph would be the opposite, where too much radiation reaches the image receptor, resulting in high radiographic density.
