How are electromagnetic waves used to operate an xray machine?

Electrons impact at high velocity on a tungsten anode. The tungsten emits the X-Rays, which are the electromagnetic waves.


Do sound require a medium?

Sound waves need a medium to propagate. Light-waves and other electromagnetic wave (radio, xray) do not.


What is the entire range of radiation from xray to radiowaves?

The entire range of radiation spans from high-energy gamma rays and x-rays, to ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared radiation, before transitioning into radio waves with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies. Each type of radiation falls within a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum based on their energy levels.


Explain the effects on frequency wavelength and energy as you move across the spectrum?

As you move from left to right across the electromagnetic spectrum, the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases, and the energy of the electromagnetic waves increases. This means that on the left side, you have low-frequency, long-wavelength, low-energy waves like radio waves, while on the right side, you have high-frequency, short-wavelength, high-energy waves like gamma rays.


What color on the color spectrum is closest to an x-ray?

Ok, the electromagnetic spectrum is RadioWaves-Microwaves-Infrared-(red orange yellow green blue violet)-UltraViolet-XRay-Gamma These are part of the visible color spectrum So violet would be the answer.


What is elctromagnetic energy?

Electromagnetic energy is a form of energy that is transmitted through electromagnetic waves. These waves include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic energy plays a crucial role in various natural phenomena and human technologies.


Is xray a word?

Yes, XRAY is a company. If you are referring to the electromagnetic radiation, x-ray what you mean.


In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have astronomers been unable to get any information?

We can get information from any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum provided we use the correct "listening" devices; that is the entire range, Radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultra violet, xray, and gamma rays


What is xray short for?

Energetic High-frequency Electromagnetic Radiation


Xray machine microwave oven ceiling fan or air conditioner What device uses radio waves?

The device that uses radio waves is the X-ray machine. X-ray machines utilize electromagnetic radiation, which includes radio waves, to produce images of the inside of the body. Microwave ovens use microwave radiation, while ceiling fans and air conditioners do not primarily rely on electromagnetic waves for their operation.


What is similar about light waves of different colors?

Light is an electromagnetic wave. it is under the spectrum of electromagnetic waves of range 400nm-750nm. below 400nm are IR radio waves etc. and above 750 are like Gamma Xray etc. Every wavelength has different property and "energy". it effects differently on different type of chemicals , metals etc. So, different colors means different wavelengths and energy. and hence they have different effects.


Why are the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum put in that order?

The colors in the electromagnetic spectrum are put in that order based on their wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and are seen as violet, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies and are seen as red. This progression follows the visible light spectrum from shortest to longest wavelengths.
