Similar to a photograph, the x-rays (the actual RAYS) hit the object it's supposed to hit and then reflects off of whatever was blocking it and a special "machine-thingy" prints the image on a piece of that shiny paper via the ray-pattern it sends back to the paper. [:<

∙ 9y agoX-ray images are produced by targeting an x-ray beam through a patient. Some of the radiation gets absorbed and what radiation does go through will hit a 'film' or 'detector' on the other side of the patient. Some parts of the body absorb more x-rays (or radiation) than others. Bones, which absorb more, will appear white on film; as where air, which absorbs very little, will appear black. All other tissues absorb a varying amount and will appear in different shades of grey.
X-rays are produced by accelerating electrons with a high voltage and colliding them with a metal (tungsten) target. When the electrons hit the target, they interact with the metal molecules to produce x-rays.

Can carpal tunnel syndrome be detected in an xray?
No
How does an ultra sound work?
By creating an xray using sound waves.
Waves are produced through what?
Waves can be produced by vibrations and electricity.
Do sound require a medium?
Sound waves need a medium to propagate. Light-waves and other electromagnetic wave (radio, xray) do not.
What is in the area where no seismic wave are detected?
Stress waves
An area where no direct seismic waves from a particular earthquake can be detected?
shadow zone
What types of waves are produced by waves and explosions?
seismic waves
Explain why longitudinal and transverse waves are named the way they are?
Longitudinal waves that are produced by earthquake are called primary waves because they are detected by seismometers before the other types of seismic waves due to their higher velocity which means they travel from the epicentre of an earthquake to the seismic station more quickly than the other types of seismic waves.
How Electromagnetic Waves produced on surface of sun?
How Electromagnetic Waves produced on surface of sun?
Which are always the first waves of an earthquake to be detected?
P waves (primary waves) - the fastest, and can travel through solids liquids or gasses
What are radio waves detected by?
Radio Telescopes and radio wires
How are ultrasonic waves detected by acoustic grating?
by finding the velocity
