Mention some properties of X - rays
Answers
Answer:
1.they have a shorter wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum
2. required high voltage to produce x-ray
3. they are used to capture human skeleton defect
4. they are capable of travelling in a vacuum
Explanation:
Properties of X-rays
(1) They can undergo reflection refraction , diffraction , interference and polarisation.
(2) They affect photo graphic plate .
(3) They cast shadows of the object falling in their path due to the reason that they travel in a straight line .
(4) They can penetrate the material that are opaque to visible or UV light .
(4) They can cause photo electric effect
(5) They can cause flourosence in certain material like zinc ,sulphide , calcium .
(6) They ionise the gas through which they pass .
(7) They produce secondary X - rays when fall on certain metals . they secondary X rays are accompanied by fast moving electrons .
(8) They are em. waves of very short wavelength and thus earth's atmosphere opaque for X-rays .
