How long is an exposure time of 10 impulses in seconds?

To calculate the exposure time in seconds when given an exposure of 10 impulses, it's important to understand how impulses relate to time. In dental radiology, one impulse typically corresponds to a duration of 1/60th of a second. Therefore, to find the total exposure time, you would multiply the number of impulses by the duration of a single impulse:

10 impulses × (1/60 seconds/impulse) = 10/60 seconds = 1/6 seconds.

This calculation confirms that an exposure time of 10 impulses is equivalent to 1/6th of a second. This understanding of impulse duration is essential for accurate exposure settings in radiographic procedures.
