Best Answer

Fixed magnetic fields, such as the field around a piece of magnetic metal or around a planet such as the earth have no effect on what is called "electromagnetic" or "wave" radiation, which includes, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays (named in order of increasing energy and frequency.)

Which rays are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields?

These are gamma rays and X-rays.


Do X-ray waves need a medium?

No. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves self-propagate by generating their own electrical and magnetic fields.


Is magnetic field abble to attenuate acoustic waves?

No. Magnetic fields may interfere with electromagnetic waves (x-rays, gamma rays, UV, visible light etc.) but not sound (acoustic?) waves. The two are completely different types of waves.


X-rays are not deflected by magnetic fieldWhat does this indicate about yhe nature of rays?

That they have neither a negative or positive charge


What is magnetic resonance angiography?

an imaging test that does not use dyes or x rays and relies on special computer software and powerful magnetic fields to create a highly detailed image of the inside of the brain's arteries.


Define the term electromagnetic radiation?

Electromagnetic radiation a kind of radiation that includes visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and X-rays. The electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously in this type of radiation.

What are gamma and x-rays?

Gamma and x-rays are two types of rays on the electro magnetic spectrum. The amount of energy used by the rays increases as you go up the electro magnetic spectrum. The weakest of the rays is a radio wave and the strongest is the gamma which will penetrate lead.


Where do you get electromagnetic energy?

•Electromagnetic energy is a combination of electric and magnetic fields vibrating in relation to another. •Includes -Power -Radio waves -Infrared light -Visible light -Ultraviolet light -X rays -Gamma rays -Cosmic rays •Electromagnetic waves are formed when an electric field (shown as blue arrows) couples with a magnetic field (shown as red arrows). •The magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave.


What is the difference between MRI and X-Rays?

X-rays use what are called X-rays...that was a given but MRIs use magnetic pulses instead of the X-rays. The difference is that the X-rays don't pass through bone (so you see the bone) and the magnetic pulses penetrate the entire flesh but bounce off every cell. This shows what the inside of the person looks like.


What waves transverse waves that disturb electromagnetic fields?

x-rays


In which type of wave does light travel?

All the electro-magnetic waves travel at the speed of light. Electromagnetic spectrum includes the following: * X-rays * Gamma rays * Ultraviolet rays * Infrared waves * Microwaves * Radio waves * Cosmic rays
