What else can I help you with?
What difference would it make to the photo if the x-rays were not on for long enough?
lack acuracy
Why U.V. rays does not go through metals?
The short answer is that the photons are not energetic enough. Photons of x-rays and gamma rays are energetic enough to pass through metal.
How do x rays affect photographic plates?
X-rays will "Fog" photographic plates. That means the plates act as if 'exposed' to light. If the X-rays are intense enough, the plates will appear to be totally exposed.
What has enough energy to pass through skin but not enough to pass through you bones?
x-rays
Do xrays ionize gases?
Yes, X-rays have enough energy to ionize gases. When X-rays pass through a gas, they can transfer enough energy to the gas molecules to remove electrons, creating ions. This process is known as X-ray ionization.
Is X-ray electromagnetic?
X-rays have a higher energy than ultraviolet rays; less than gamma rays. Therefore, they are between the two. Usually the EM spectrum is shown from left to right in order of increasing frequency; in this case, X-rays are near the right side, next to gamma rays, which are on the far right.
Can x rays penerate lead?
Not very well. If the lead is a thin sheet and the x-ray source is strong, the x-rays go right through. X-ray shields are made of lead and are designed to be thick enough.
Why X-rays are inverse of photoelectric effect?
X-rays and the photoelectric effect are related because X-rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves that can cause the photoelectric effect to occur in matter, where electrons are ejected from atoms when X-rays are absorbed. This happens because X-rays have enough energy to overcome the binding energy of the electrons in the atoms they interact with. So, in essence, X-rays can trigger the photoelectric effect in materials due to their high energy levels.
What element makes soft body tissues show up on x-rays?
Soft tissues do not show up well on x-rays because they are not dense enough to block x-rays. However, contrast agents like barium or iodine can be used to highlight soft tissues by absorbing or scattering more x-rays, making them visible on the image.
Can x-rays see through wood?
Yes, X-rays can see through wood. Wood is not dense enough to completely block X-rays, allowing them to pass through and produce an image on the other side. This property makes X-rays useful for inspecting wooden objects for defects or hidden features.
What are the main categories of the electromagnetic spectrum?
short radio waves, long radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays.
Do X-rays cause and cure cancer?
X-rays can increase the risk of developing cancer by damaging the DNA in cells. However, X-rays are also used as a treatment for cancer in a technique known as radiation therapy, where targeted radiation is used to kill cancer cells.
