X-rays can be given increased power to penetrate by increasing their frequency (shortening their wavelength). This is generally accomplished by increasing the operating voltage of the X-ray tube. Higher voltages will accelerate electrons more, and their increased energy will result in more energetic ("harder") X-rays at the target of the anode.

How does power increase?

power = speed x strength So to increase your power you must: 1) increase the speed at which you can perform the movement 2) or increase the amount of weight you can perform the movement with AND the speed at which you can perform the movement Generally speaking one will see improvements with any improvment in speed OR strength. Once you reach professional level competition with highly trained atheles it becomes a little more complex than simply increasing one of these variables.


If you have three objects that each emit alpha beta and gamma respectively and which one do you throw away which one do you hold in your hand and which one do you put in your pocket?

You throw away the gamma-emitting object due to its high penetrating power, hold the beta-emitting object in your hand as beta radiation can be stopped by skin, and put the alpha-emitting object in your pocket since alpha radiation is the least penetrating and can be stopped by clothing.
