X-Ray

During World War I, X-rays were primarily used for locating bullets and shrapnel in wounded soldiers, thereby aiding in their medical treatment. X-rays also helped diagnose fractures and internal injuries quickly, which was crucial for the immediate care of injured soldiers on the battlefield.

This is not a good question - x-ray IS radiation. It's just a specific type of radiation and longitude. But its very short - 10^-10 m (1 A). For example - the visible light spectrum is (more or less) from 400 to 800 nm (10^-9 m). That's why you cannot see x-rays.

Yes they are.

Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay

From least to greatest energy, the order would be:

Infrared radiation < microwaves < blue light < orange light < X-rays

This order is based on the electromagnetic spectrum, where the frequency and energy of radiation increase from left to right.

Accretion disks generally are energetic because of gravitational compression of infalling matter, and frictional forces which heat the matter in the accretion disk. The frequency depends on the mass of the central body. Protostellar accretion disks emit in the infrared, the higher speed and friction associated with the more intense gravity of neutron stars and black holes cause them to radiate in the higher x-ray frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Radio waves are longer than X-rays and because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, X-Rays have more energy. The formula is 1.25uevm/wavelength, that is the energy is 1.25 micro electron volt divided by the wavelength in meters.

The x-ray telescope was not invented by one individual, but rather it was developed by various scientists and engineers over time. However, one significant early contributor to x-ray astronomy was Hans Wolter, a German physicist who designed the Wolter telescope structure that became the basis for many x-ray telescopes.

X-ray diffraction uses X-rays to study the atomic structure of materials, while neutron diffraction uses neutrons. Neutron diffraction is particularly useful for studying light elements like hydrogen because neutrons interact strongly with them, while X-ray diffraction is better for heavy elements. Neutron diffraction also provides information about magnetic structures due to the neutron's magnetic moment.

X-rays can increase the risk of developing cancer by damaging the DNA in cells. However, X-rays are also used as a treatment for cancer in a technique known as radiation therapy, where targeted radiation is used to kill cancer cells.

Gamma radiation is similar to x-rays in terms of their ability to penetrate materials and cause ionization, but unlike x-rays, gamma radiation is not composed of particles. Instead, gamma radiation consists of electromagnetic waves with very high energy.

X-ray diffraction is an investigative technique that involves directing a beam of X-rays at a material and examining the ways in which those X-rays were scattered by that material. The patterns into which they scatter and the angles of scattering reveal information about the structure of the material being studied. The application of X-ray diffraction to probe characteristics of a material allows a researcher to model the atomic or molecular structure of that material.

A neuroradiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in using imaging techniques such as CT scans, MRI, and angiography to diagnose and treat disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spine, and head and neck. They work closely with other healthcare providers to help guide treatment plans for patients with neurological conditions.

Advantages of X-ray telescopes include the ability to capture high-energy emissions from objects such as black holes and neutron stars, providing valuable information about these phenomena. However, X-ray telescopes are limited by Earth's atmosphere, which absorbs X-rays, necessitating the need for them to be placed in space. Additionally, X-ray telescopes tend to have lower resolution compared to optical telescopes.

It is a medical concoction that is used to provide contrast in the X-rays, during an Upper G.I. exam. It is comprised of Barium Sulphate.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays can help kill bacteria, but being exposed to a source like the sun for an extended period is not healthy as that exposure can damage skin. X-rays are used in medical imaging, and they can greatly assist professionals wishing to make a medical diagnosis. The energy of these rays is high, however, and X-rays can cause tissue damage. Exposure must controlled to minimize risk. Gamma rays are even more energetic, and they can be used to treat things like cancer. But these rays, too,

can cause tissue damage, so radiation treatment must be carefully administered.

X-rays themselves do not hurt. However, some people may experience discomfort or pain if the X-ray technician needs to position them in specific ways for the imaging.

Electromagnetic energy is the most important form of energy in radiography, as it is present in both x-ray beams and magnetic resonance imaging. Electromagnetic energy is responsible for the creation and transmission of the imaging signals used to produce diagnostic images in radiology.

Prior to being launched into space on 23 Jul 1999 on STS-93, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) was given an expected lifetime of 5 years. In September 2001 NASA extended the CXO's lifetime to 10 years "based on the observatory's outstanding results."

Physically the observatory could last for much longer. A study performed at the Chandra X-ray Center indicated that the CXO could last at least 15 years.

Because current technology cannot significantly improve upon the resolving power of Chandra's mirrors, it's unlikely that another x-ray observatory will be launched before 2015. So we'll probably get to see just how long Chandra can last.

The atoms in the anode of an X-ray tube are ionized by an incoming beam of high energy electrons. Those electrons streamed off the cathode and were accelerated by the high voltage across the tube's elements. The high energy electron beam slams into the specially alloyed anode and ionizes the atoms there. The ionized atoms have their outer electrons torn out to very high energy levels, and when they de-ionize, they do so by emitting a high energy photon - an X-ray. The anode gets hot as heck, too.

X-ray film is chemically sensitive film. It is created to react with the sourced light producing an image. It was made possible through the advances of Marie Curie and her studies of extracting radium from pitchblende.

Willhelm Rontgen is usually credited as the discoverer.

He called it X-Radiation to signify an unknown type of radiation.

It is mainly used to predict arrangement of atoms within large biological macromolecules.
It determines X,Y,Z coordinates of all atoms.
It is used to find three dimensional structure of a molcule, so that it can be docked with a ligand molecule.

Rosalind Franklin's x-ray images of DNA suggested a helical shape, specifically a double helix structure. This played a crucial role in the discovery of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick.
