Which signal is absorbed by camera?

xray and gama do you meant the film ????? A camera in general use records (absorbs? curious word to use) visual light, just about the same as you see with your eyes. Some specialist cameras/sensors/films record light outside the visible spectrum such as infra-red and ultra-violet.


What types of energy are radiated from the sun?

All "energy wavers" are forms of radiation. Most of the spectrum is emitted from the sun in varying amounts from xray, all the way down to radio waves. Visible light is a form of radiation, one which most directly affects us.


How fast do x-rays travel?

Xray speed in a vacum is equal to the spped of visible light, 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 km per second. Outside of a vacum, x-ray waves are subject to various factors that change speed.
