∙ 11y agoCathode ray tubes are evacuated glass tubes that have two electrodes and are used to "excite" electrons, forcing them to release photons, or particles of light. They are not radio active, they are just electric.
They can, however, emit X-rays, but only during operation, and only with very high accelerating voltages.
Domestic (i.e. television) CRTs are designed to emit zero/very low levels of X-ray radiation.

What element can be used to produce X - Ray images?
True X rays are not produced by elements- they are produced by an electric current and an X ray tube. However, radioactive elements such as Cobalt and Uranium can be used to produce a radiographic image, and are commonly used to inspect welds in metals, However, they use gamma rays and not X rays.
What has shortest wavelength?
X-rays and Gamma rays. Radio Waves have the longest.
What is something in Virginia that begins with x?
* X-rays. * Xylophones.
What do x-rays have to do with the Holocaust?
Nothing I can think of.
Are the x rays behaves like visible light or not?
Yes, but x-rays can't be focused by lenses, they just pass through the lens. They can only be focused by glancing angle nested cylinder mirrors. X-rays pass through most things.
What type of rays do x rays transmit?
radioactive
Do x-rays contain radioactive isotopes?
no
What do x-rays have to do with radioactive decay?
nothing
Which is not radioactive beta rays gamma rays or X-rays?
Both beta rays and gamma rays are the products of radioactive decay and are the result of changes in atomic nuclei. X-rays can be generated by using high voltage to accelerate electrons and slam them into a metal target, so they might be said to be non-radioactive.
What are X rays ultraviolet light and radioactive substances classified as?
mutagens
Exposure to x-rays ultraviolet rays and radioactive substances may promote what?
diversity among organisms
Are radioactive materials dangerous Explain?
yeah! almost all radioactive materials are dangerous, from these material radioactive rays are originated which are namely alpha,beta,gamma and when these rays strike to the body so it leave incurable burn,however its small amount is also harmful such as: the radioactive material named radium are found in varieties of wrist watches so its also harmful for human health X-Rays are electromagnetic rays and these are also harmful but not so much therefore physicians avoids for X-rays reports but in severe condition they are compel to do that advise There are two type of radioactive element one is natural radioactive and other is artificial radioactive element From natural radioactive element radioactive rays are always originated so,radioactive materials are dangerous even it is artificial or natural
What are the disadvantages of radiations?
Radioactive radiation, such as X-rays and gamma rays, is dangerous and can harm, and even kill living things.
Is radiation an xray?
No, they can't. X-rays, at least the high energy ones, are a form of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds, but it cannot activate a substance. That is, X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive. Only particulate radiation can "induce" radioactivity, and that will happen according to the type of particulate radiation and the material being bombarded. Cosmic rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation even more energetic than X-rays, and even they cannot make a substance radioactive. Because X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive, they cannot make a site, a room, or an area of any kind radioactive.
What is a ionising and non-ionising radiation?
heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube, and gamma rays from radioactive elements
Are x-rays emitted during radioactive decay?
Yes they are. Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay
Are gamma rays associated with radioactive decay?
Yes, Gamma waves are used in X-rays, which is why doctors leave the room so the toxicating rays do not harm their skin cells.
