When matter is irradiated by X-rays, it can produce secondary radiation such as Compton scattering, photoelectric effect, or pair production. These processes involve interaction between the X-rays and the atoms in the material, leading to the emission of secondary radiation.

What is a photographic image produced by the action of xrays or nuclear radiation?

A photographic image produced by the action of xrays or nuclear radiation is called a radiograph.


Does xrays have a mechanical or electromagnetic?

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced using high-energy electrons that interact with a target material, resulting in the emission of X-ray photons.


How are becquerel rays different to Xrays?

Becquerel rays are emitted by radioactive materials and are a form of ionizing radiation, while X-rays are electromagnetic radiation produced artificially by machines. Becquerel rays originate from the decay of unstable atomic nuclei, while X-rays are created when high-energy electrons collide with a target material. Both types of radiation can penetrate solids, but X-rays have higher energy and can be more controlled in terms of intensity and direction.


Is radiation in xrays?

Yes, X-rays involve radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves that can pass through the body to create images of internal structures. However, the level of radiation exposure from X-rays is considered safe when used in medical imaging with appropriate protocols and precautions in place.


Does radiation leave your body after having xrays?

Yes, most of the radiation used during X-rays is quickly absorbed by the body's tissues or shielded by lead aprons. Any remaining radiation is typically very low and decreases rapidly as the body eliminates it. Your body does not retain radiation from routine X-rays after the procedure is completed.

What are the positive effects of x-rays?

Xrays can be used for diagnosing lots of problems. They are a standard in most hospitals. Radiation is not good no matter what, but the benefits outweigh the risks and the amount of radiation is so small that you get more radiation walking in the sun in summer.

Is the dose of radiation more or less than an xray?

Since xrays, themselves, are a form of radiation, the question makes no sense.


Why xrays dangerous and not radio waves?

Although radio waves, visible light and X-rays are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, x-rays travel with a much higher energy at a very short wavelength and create ionizing radiation. When an x-ray passes through organic matter the denser matter will block some of the radiation and that radiation will be deposited in the matter creating some cell damage.


Is there any type of radiation that can stops xrays?

No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.
