X-ray means radiation produced by electrons, subatomic particles that make up atoms.
Humans make x-radiation with devices called 'x-ray tubes.' Basically, it's a vaccum tube with a cathode (a metal plate that *produces* electrons in a vacuum) at one end, and an anode (the same thing, but it *collects* electrons instead) at the other. This produces an electrical current, called the 'beam,' between the two plates.
When the cathode produces electrons, they smack into the anode very, very fast. This knocks the electrons of atoms in the anode (this is usually made of an electrically conductive metal, like molybdenum, copper or tungsten) off the plate, and these *new* electrons can be collected with other machinery tuned to perform whatever task the X-rays are needed for, like radiography and such.

Why place patient between X-ray tube and film cassette?
The patient has to be in betwee the X-ray source and the film, so that a ''picture'' of the shadows made by the X-ray can be taken.
What is X-ray film made of?
X-ray film is chemically sensitive film. It is created to react with the sourced light producing an image. It was made possible through the advances of Marie Curie and her studies of extracting radium from pitchblende.
If x-ray film is foged how do x-ray image will look like?
If the x-ray film is fogged, the image will be black.
What is the purpose of x ray film?
The purpose of x-ray film is to capture an image made when you are exposed to carefully controlled x-rays, so your physician can visualize some aspects of yuor insides.
What is the communication tool of an X-ray?
x-ray film
How lead appears in x-ray image?
Lead appears white in an x-ray image. Its density prevents the x-ray beam from reaching the x-ray film leaving that part of the film unexposed (white).
How is an x ray film produced?
X ray film was produced much like the film for visible light. Silver halide suspensions were spread on the backing material.
What is the pattern of dark bands on X-ray film made when an individuals DNA fragments are separated then probed and then exposed to an X-ray film?
Yeah I have no idea but I do know that you are rewriting answer from a Modern Biology worksheet because I am looking for the same thing
Which type of dental X-ray has a film placed and exposed outside of the mouth?
A panoramic (Panorex) is the dental x-ray where the film is out of the mouth. It is a form of x-ray tomography. The film is replaced by an digital receptor on modern machines.
How is an x-ray film produced?
X ray film was produced much like the film for visible light. Silver halide suspensions were spread on the backing material.
How are x rays made?
X- RAY made from cathode ray osloscope
In Xray what is the difference between plain film and plane film?
"Plain film" and "plane film" refer to the same thing in radiology, which is the traditional method of capturing X-ray images on a flat sheet of film. This type of X-ray imaging is being replaced by digital radiography, which provides quicker image acquisition and easier storage and sharing of images.
