Does Light photon has more energy than x-ray photon?
Yes, due to the energy of photons/electromagnetic particles being determined by the equations below:
E= hv=hc(1/v)= hc/wavelength.
Where E= energy, v= frequency in Hz, h= Planck's constant, c= speed of light
Electrons have a very short wavelength, and a very high frequency, thus they have much more energy than a beam of light.
X-ray telescopes are located in orbit around the Earth because?
X-ray telescopes are placed in orbit around the Earth to avoid absorption of X-rays by Earth's atmosphere. By being in space, these telescopes can capture high-energy X-ray emissions from celestial objects that do not reach the surface due to the atmosphere.
What is the principles of x ray diffraction?
The idea is that, due to the small wavelength of X-rays, atoms can serve as a diffraction grid - causing diffraction patterns. (If you don't know about diffraction, I suggest you search in the questions for "diffraction", or ask a separate question for diffraction.) Crystals are good for this, because of their regular structure.
Where do most x-ray and uv telescopes work best?
Most ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and even gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, inhibiting the use of telescopes in these wavelength regimes from the ground or even at high altitudes. Therefore space telescopes are generally used to study light at these wavelengths. The telescopes can be in circular Earth-orbit or even further out at the Earth/Sun lagrangian points where the telescope can stay relatively still for high resolution images. Some examples include the Chandra x-ray observatory, the Compton gamma ray observatory, the hubble space telescope (visible, infrared, and UV instruments), and the Spitzer space telescope (infrared).
What is the average cost of an X-ray telescope?
The average cost of an X-ray telescope can vary greatly depending on its size, complexity, and mission objectives. However, they typically range from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars. For example, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, launched in 1999, cost approximately $1.65 billion.
The shortest on this list is gamma rays.
The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:
Radio
Infra-red
Ultraviolet
X-rays
Gamma rays
The technique that uses X-rays to aid in identifying chemical structures is called?
X-ray crystallography is the technique that uses X-rays to aid in identifying chemical structures. It involves analyzing the diffraction patterns produced when X-rays are passed through crystallized molecules to determine the spatial arrangement of atoms within the crystal lattice. This method is particularly useful for revealing detailed structures of small organic molecules, proteins, and other crystalline materials.
Can X-rays easily penetrate Earth's atmosphere and reach the ground from space?
Apparently, yes (if it can go through anything that is less dense than a thick lead).
Actually, the atmosphere stops most of the X-rays.
A lot of radio waves can reach the surface.
That's why "X-ray telescopes" are put in space, but "radio telescopes" can be on the ground.
A type of galaxy is probably the answer you are looking for.
However, a quasar is actually an active galactic nucleus.
What is the purpose of a x ray?
This test, also known as an oral cholecystogram or OCG, is usually ordered to help physicians diagnose disorders of the gallbladder, such as gallstones and tumors, which show up as solid dark structures. It is performed to help in the.
Several elements are named after people?
Yes, some chemical elements are named after people who played a significant role in their discovery or research. For example, einsteinium and curium were named after Albert Einstein and Marie Curie, respectively.
Can X-rays be produced by a compound?
X Rays are hi energy waves and are one of the highest! When compounds want to release energy, the rate at which it wants to and the amount it wants to get rid of vary its wavelength. If its not bothered by releasing too much energy and has all the time in the world it would release low energy waves like infrared. But if the compound is in a rush and wants to get rid of a huge amount of energy quickly it then produces higher energy waves like microwaves or Xrays. I think lead can produce xrays, but i cant remember how its done. i think you fire a neutron at it and it produces an xray. not entirely sure, you'll have to check.
What is a X-rays speed of light?
All electromagnetic waves involves the propagation of electric and magnetic fields though space with speed 3 x 108 ms-1 .Therefore , the speed of x rays would probably be same as the speed of light.
X-rays are a type of what radiation?
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet light but longer than gamma rays. They are commonly used in medical imaging to visualize the inside of the body.
What determines the quantity of an x-ray photon?
The energy of an x-ray photon is determined by its frequency or wavelength. X-ray photons are emitted with a specific energy level based on the atomic structure of the material producing them. The quantity of x-ray photons produced can be influenced by factors such as the amount of energy applied to the x-ray tube and the exposure time.
How does the wavelength of X-ray energy affect the exposure of the body?
In general, the shorter the wavelength (the higher the frequency) of X-rays, the more energy the radiation has. That means that shorter wavelength X-rays have more penetrating power. It should be noted that X-rays are also a form of ionizing radiation; these electromagnetic waves have the energy to break chemical bonds. And they will to some extent, with the shorter wavelength rays doing the most damage. In a normal X-ray, the radiation dosage is low, and the negative effects minimized. The up side of the use of the X-ray makes it a great diagnostic tool for the medical investigator. The cost benefit ratio is one with a very low cost associated with it, and it's long on the benefits. If you break a bone and go into the ER, the emergency room physician will order an X-ray pretty quick to see what's up. A link can be found below.
Electromagnetic radiation with wavelength shorter than ultraviolet -- including x-rays -- is strongly absorbed by earth's atmosphere. X-ray detectors looking into space from the surface of the earth don't see anything, because no x-rays reach the surface ... the main reason that all life on earth has not been broiled yet by E&M radiation from space.
Yes, hydrogen can emit X-rays through processes such as bremsstrahlung radiation when high-energy electrons interact with atomic nuclei. This emission can occur in various environments such as in astrophysical settings or in laboratory experiments involving high-energy interactions.
Barium is considered a moderately abundant element in the Earth's crust and is more common than some other elements. It is the 14th most abundant element in the Earth's crust.
Does RF radiation causes the same types of biological harm as X-ray radiation?
RF radiation and X-ray radiation have different energy levels and interact with the human body in different ways. X-ray radiation is ionizing and has the potential to damage DNA and cause mutations, leading to cancer. RF radiation, on the other hand, is non-ionizing and usually doesn't have enough energy to break chemical bonds or cause DNA damage. However, excessive exposure to RF radiation, particularly at high power levels, can still have biological effects such as heating of tissues.
X-rays, ultraviolet light, and radioactive substances that can change the chemical nature of DNA are all classified as mutagens. These agents can induce changes in the DNA sequence, leading to mutations that can have various biological consequences.
X-rays with wavelengths of 128 pm was used to study a crystal which produced
a reflection of 15.8 degrees. Assuming first order diffraction (n = 1), what is the
distance between the planes of atoms (d)
To understand this one, let's start with gamma rays. Gamma rays are high energy electromagnetic radiation. They are just like visible light, only higher in frequency and energy. And these rays have the ability to penetrate materials. Gamma rays are the highest energy electromagnetic radiation, and they originate with atomic nuclei and with nuclear processes, like nuclear decay associated with radioactive (unstable) atoms.
We know that DNA is a long string of complex biochemical material. These chemical structures are held together largely by covalent chemical bonds. A characteristic of a covalent bond is that it is not as strong as an ionic bond, and can be attacked and broken by outside forces. Heat (thermal energy) can break the covalent bonds of biochemical materials, and so can electromagnetic radiation.
Gamma rays whizz through biochemical materials and "add energy" to bonds between atoms as they pass. This added energy breaks the chemical bonds at that point. That gamma ray can move onward and break more bonds as it goes. This is the nature of the damage caused by gamma radiation. Cells have the ability to repair chemical damage to some degree, but the "machine" that directs the operation of the cell is the DNA. If it is damaged, the cell has a difficult time repairing it. It may not be able to, and the cell may die without its
"complete" DNA to operate it.
Large scale irradiation by gamma rays can cause serious injury or can be lethal. You can see where an individual presenting at a hospital with radiation sickness from gamma rays will find that there is little that can be done to help him. There is no medication that can administered to allow cells to repair themselves from the inside out if these cells have suffered damage to their DNA. At some point, "too many" cells have been damaged and a person will not survive a gamma radiation dose.
All ionizing radiation (not just gamma rays) damage nucleic acids by ionizing parts of it, producing what are called chemical radicals. The radicals then try to neutralize their charge which can result in many effects, some are:
Damage to nucleic acids can also occur indirectly by the ionizing radiation ionizing other molecules near the nucleic acids, producing chemical radicals that that attack the nucleic acids while trying to neutralize their charge.
Predict whether barium carbonate is soluble or insoluble in water?
Barium carbonate is insoluble in water. When it is mixed with water, it forms a suspension instead of dissolving completely due to its low solubility in water.
It is possible to detect black holes by the X-rays emitted at the event horizon. That's one way to "see" them. It's tricky, but the tools of the modern astronomer are nothing short of astonishing. Let's take a walk.
Lots of times we think of telescopes as instruments through which bleery-eyed investigators peer for hours on end. It ain't like that now. In addition to the optical telescopes we know of (which now have CCD imaging equipment at the focal point and computers to look at the pictures), we have "eyes" pointed at the sky that can see across the electromagnetic spectrum, including X-rays.
The X-rays generated at the event horizon of a black hole appear as the result of the acceleration of gases into the gravity well. And we have things like the Chandra X-ray Observatory to see such things. Chandra launched in the summer of '99, and by the 2000's, stunning images were beginning to amaze observers. Including things like X-ray emission from Sagittarius A's supermassive black hole, which is at the center of the Milky Way.
