X-Ray
Invented by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895, X-ray imaging is used in hospitals to detect fractures to bone, as well as abnormalities to soft tissues.

What is the principle underlying the creation of a space charge in the x-ray tube?
Thermionic Emission
Visible light x ray infrared radiation and radio wave all have the same?
The best answer I can think of is "gauge particle." "Speed in a vacuum" is another possibility. The below, while true, does not really answer the question asked. ---- First, I have to explain radiation. Radiation consists of three types: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha radiation is destructive and is comprised of a helium nuclei, or two protons and two neutrons. Beta radiation is either an electron or a positron (I would read other sources for better information on this, it does not relate to the question). All of the rest, including gamma rays, are waves included in what is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The sole difference is their wavelength, or distance between repetitions in the wave, and frequency, the time it takes for a certain number of wave units to pass a certain point, often expressed in waves/second, or Hertz. The electromagnetic spectrum and its components can be more thoroughly explained by other sites.
How do Satellites for observing X-rays and Gamma rays eg Chandra X-ray observatory work?
they use gamma rays... i think. top that peeps!
Which will have the longest wavelengths light waves X-rays or radio waves?
Of the items on that list, radio has the longest wavelength
and x-rays have the shortest.
It's not lethal if all the safety precautions are taken care of. That's why Radiology technicians put a lead blanket on you sometimes, and they go stand in another room, or behind a barrier, or w/e, while an X-ray is in progress.
Over exposure to X-rays, or any form radiation, can cause SERIOUS health problems, that if left untreated, may become lethal.
X-rays are just something you want to try to avoid as much as possible, however you'd have to sit under the X-ray beam for a while to see immediate results (which I do not advise :p)
X-ray diffraction photographs by wilkins and Franklin suggest that?
DNA molecules are arranged as a tightly coiled helix. (:
Can you fake a break on X-ray scanners?
No, it would be extremely difficult to fake a broken bone on an x-ray. It might be possible to alter digital x-ray images after the fact, but most departments keep hard copy images to prevent this from happening.
Do you have to wear a lead shield when you get x-rays at doctors?
Yes. X-ray radiation can cause all kinds of nasty side-effects, such as cancer and lowered sperm count.
What can happen if energy from x ray photons are absorbed?
you can obtain an x-ray absorption spectrum
Who is the girl in the For Eyes X-Ray Glasses Commercial?
Her name is Jennifer Deshon and she's my room mate! :)
How much faster is a gamma ray than x-ray?
I think that they are both the same, as they are both electromagnetic radiation. Hence they both travel at the speed of light.
These fall into two categories: (1) those done with the use of barium and a fluoroscope; and (2) those performed with radioactive materials.
the frontal view (referred to as posterioranterior or PA)
How can x-rays make pictures of the inside of solid objects?
X-rays have high energy and can penetrate matter that light cannot.
