How rays can be produce by cathode ray oscilloscope?

A: xray emits from TV, OSCILLOSCOPE and some more instruments due to requirement of hi voltage to see the display


Factors influencing quality and intensity of xray?

Power of the X-ray tube, voltage applied, current intensity, anticathode type, filters, collimator, tube design, working atmosphere, etc.


Explain the working and constructions of bragg's spectrometer?

Constructin: It works like an optical spectometer.X-rays frm an Xray tube are incedent on a crystal at some glancing angle 'b'.Since they r to be incedented in form of narrow beams slits of lead plates are used.the crystal is mounted on a turntabe which can move along a vertical axis.circular scales are mounted on the turntable to measure the ange'b'.At some point it consists of an arm which has a detector attached to it.when the turntablle moves with an ange'b' the arm moves with angle 2b.this way the X-ray beam is always incidented inside the detector.The ionising current produced by the reflected beam is merasured by a sensitive electometer E or recorded on photographic plates. Working: Initially the angle b is adjusted to 0 deg.With this the detector is so adjusted to receive the beam inside it.Then the crystal is moved in small angles and the correspnding deflections is noted down.A graph is ploted of Ionization current vs glancing ange. This is used to verify Bragg's law. ie sin a:sin b:sin c=1:2:3.

Will ultraviolet light interfer with an xray and can you combine ultraviolet light with xray?

Light will not interfere with another light. It will not combine either. Even laser beams will not interfere with one another if crossed. Only phonons in a material will react with one another.

Will a Fushigi ball get you in trouble with the immigration customs officers and the scanning machine at the airport?

I flew domestic out of Denver. The Fushigi was in my carry on bag. It got flagged when going through the xray machine. TSA searched my bag, swabbed the Fushigi for bomb residue, asked a bunch of questions, and then ran it through the Xray again by itself. I almost missed my flight. Got to keep the Fushigi.


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.
