There is a risk of getting radiation exposure from x rays. This exposure can increase the risk of gene mutations and cancer. Overall, x rays are safe for young children, but should avoid over exposure and unnecessary exposure when able.

Is it possible to produce interference fringes of x rays by young silt experiment?

It is challenging to produce interference fringes of X-rays using Young's double-slit experiment due to the short wavelength and high energy of X-rays. X-rays have very small wavelengths, so the slits would have to be extremely close together, which is technically difficult to achieve. Additionally, X-ray detectors are not as sensitive as visible light detectors, making it challenging to detect the interference pattern.

Is it safe for a pregnant x ray technician to continue doing x rays?

Yes as long as she has a protective shield worn all the time.


Why do X-ray technicians use lead aprons and other forms of protection when they are exposed to X-rays while we are exposed to many radio waves all the time and are not protected?

Radio waves and X-rays are not the same thing. The standards for safe exposure to radio wave energy and the standards for safe exposure to X-rays are quite different. It takes a very large amount of radio wave energy to cause harm.

Is working with dental xrays safe when pregnant?

It is very risky to work even with dental x rays when pregnant.


Why does the dentist always ask if you are pregnant?

== == The dentist will only take x rays that are completely necessary. And they probably won't take any in the first trimester. You will be covered with a lead apron that will protect you very well, but it's better to be safe. If you don't want an x ray, you can refuse to have one until later in your pregnancy or after you have the baby. White fillings are safe. Local anesthesia is safe. X-rays are not safe for the baby. Some drug medications are not safe. Most dentists agree that silver fillings are not safe.


Is it safe to have a filling before knowing you are pregnant?

Yes, dental work including bite wing x-rays are safe before as well as during pregnancy.

How dangerous xrays are for children?

X-rays are generally safe for children when used appropriately and with proper precautions, such as using lead shielding to protect sensitive areas. The risk of harm from radiation exposure is low compared to the medical benefits of obtaining diagnostic information. However, repeated or excessive exposure to x-rays should be minimized to reduce potential long-term risks.
