gamma radiation
When X-rays remove electrons from atoms, they are behaving as ionizing radiation. This means they have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, creating charged particles (ions) that can interact with other atoms and molecules in the surrounding environment.
Because of the radiasion
Yes, lead can effectively block X-rays and other forms of ionizing radiation due to its high density and ability to absorb and scatter radiation. Lead shielding is commonly used in medical settings, such as X-ray rooms, to protect staff and patients from exposure.
No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.
The amount of xrays produced in a photoelectric effect varies. . . . alot.
Xrays are radiation.
A photographic image produced by the action of xrays or nuclear radiation is called a radiograph.
Radiologists work with these.
XRAYS
Penumbra is the excess fog from scatter radiation
Since xrays, themselves, are a form of radiation, the question makes no sense.
When X-rays remove electrons from atoms, they are behaving as ionizing radiation. This means they have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, creating charged particles (ions) that can interact with other atoms and molecules in the surrounding environment.
Because of the radiasion
No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.
Xrays and CT scans
Xrays can be used for diagnosing lots of problems. They are a standard in most hospitals. Radiation is not good no matter what, but the benefits outweigh the risks and the amount of radiation is so small that you get more radiation walking in the sun in summer.
Xray tubes create xrays used for emitting xray radiation, most commonly used for medical imaging.
