Why transparent object look transparent?
Because that object does not reflect light. So glass is transparent because light passes through it. Skin is transparent under X-rays because the skin cannot reflect the high energy Xrays.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
Can xrays be weighed?
NO more than you can weigh light. X-rays are parto of the electro-magnetic(EM) spectrum, just the same as light. It just that EM waves have a different wavelength than light.
Are Xrays transverse or longitudinal waves?
X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves
Are xrays electromagnetic in nature?
Yes.
Can airport xrays see if you are on your period?
No they cannot.
Why can't x-rays penetrate bone?
xrays can penetrate bone, the machine is set to a certain power level (kVp) so that an certain amount of penetration is used to give an optimal image.
Why transparent object look transparent?
Because that object does not reflect light. So glass is transparent because light passes through it. Skin is transparent under X-rays because the skin cannot reflect the high energy Xrays.
How can yellow light ultraviolet waves and xrays be described?
they are electromagnetic. So they have an electromagnetic spectrum.
Is the velocity of X-rays constant?
Yes, all xrays travel at the speed of light.
What is the electro-magetic spectrum?
gamma rays, xrays, uv light, visible light, infra red, microwaves, radio waves
What sort of things are difficult to image with xrays?
Soft tissue such as muscle, fat and internal organs is hard to image using X-rays. This is because X-rays penetrate soft tissue relatively easily.
What makes x-ray machine show the bones?
Xrays are high energy waves that can penetrate soft tissue, like organs and skin, but not bones and teeth. Therefore, when you stand in the xray machine, the film is exposed to xrays only where they can pass through the body. Hence, you get pictures of bones and teeth but not organs and skin.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
What do xrays have to do with the holocaust?
They experimented with xrays on the prisoners in the concentration camps. Mostly at Auschwitz.
Can xrays be weighed?
NO more than you can weigh light. X-rays are parto of the electro-magnetic(EM) spectrum, just the same as light. It just that EM waves have a different wavelength than light.
How much does a series of knee xrays cost?
I just got my xrays taken for my left knee, it was four xrays for $100, it may be more other places
