- X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
- Most X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers; or frequencies in the range 3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz; and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV.
- much higher-energy X-rays can be generated for medical and industrial uses, for example radiotherapy, which utilizes linear accelerators to generate X-rays in the ranges of 6-20 MeV.
- X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of gamma rays.
- X-radiation may be referred to as Röntgen radiation, after Wilhelm Röntgen, who is usually credited as its discoverer, and who had named it X-radiation to signify an unknown type of radiation.
- X-ray photons carry enough energy to ionize atoms and disrupt molecular bonds. This makes it a type of ionizing radiation and thereby harmful to living tissue.
- X-rays can identify bone structures, have been used for medical imaging.
What else can I help you with?
Which has more energy microwaves or x rays explain your answer?
X-rays have more energy than microwaves. This is because energy in electromagnetic waves is directly related to their frequency; X-rays have higher frequencies compared to microwaves. Consequently, the greater frequency of X-rays results in higher energy photons, while microwaves, with lower frequencies, possess less energy.
What would you say to a patient who demands his x-rays and says Its my x-ray. I paid for?
I understand that you feel entitled to your x-rays since you paid for the service, and I appreciate your concern for your health. However, it's important to explain that while you have access to your medical records, including x-rays, there are protocols in place for releasing them to ensure accurate information and proper care. I can help facilitate obtaining your x-rays through the appropriate channels.
