Answer to Question 1

the mandibular condyles are positioned anterior to the petrous pyramids

Rationale: The mandibular condyles should be positioned anterior to the petrous pyramids for the SMV to indicate that the head and neck were properly hyperextended.

Answer to Question 2

kVp

Rationale: Kilovoltage affects the quality of the beam as the wavelengths of the energies are emitted.
