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.

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.
