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.

How long will it take to get a x ray on my teeth by the dentist?
It depends on how willing you are to die.
Why does x-ray circuit require rectification?
An X-ray tube requires a direct current (DC), that is, electron flow in only one direction. Therefore, some means must be provided for converting AC to DC.
The purpose of rotating the X-ray tube target is to?
The x-ray tube target is rotated to reduce wear and tear on the anode and to keep the anode from overheating.
What role does the line focus principle play in radiography?
Its essentially the angulation of the face of the target on the anode to create a smaller effective focal spot size, which will improve the sharpness of the final image
Why x-ray film using yellow paper?
Yellow paper prevents static electricity produced during the direct conduct between the x-ray films
What are the likely faults and repair of an x-ray machine?
Like any other complex piece of machinery an X-Ray Machine should have a Users Manual with it. The Manual will detail what you can fix and what a highly trained Technician will be needed to fault find and fix.
an x-ray maker is a toy for kids that you can buy. it is a kiddie version of a real x-ray.
What type of clay has more density to prevent x-rays to see through?
Dense clay, particularly varieties high in iron and other heavy minerals, can effectively attenuate X-rays due to their increased density. Baryte clay, which contains barium sulfate, is also known for its high density and is often used as a shielding material in X-ray applications. These clays have a greater atomic number and mass, making them more effective at blocking X-ray penetration compared to lighter clays.
Difference between hard and soft x-rays?
The difference between a hard x-ray and a soft x-ray is the amount of energy that they both use. Hard x-rays are used to see the inside of the human body. Soft x-rays are not used often because they omit a lot of radiation.
What are the four primary aspects of radiographic quality?
Density, contrast, distortion, and recorded detail.

An X-ray has a frequency in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz, that is 30×1015 Hz to 30×1018 Hz.
What is a juxtaposition error?
A juxtaposition error is an error that results from the "position' of elements.
It is often used to describe errors in the medical field that occur because of Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) interfaces. For example, if a healthcare provider wants to order a lab test for a patient, they might accidentally click on a lab test next to the desired test on the CPOE screen. As another example, there may be two patients with the same or similar names, and providers might choose the wrong patient because of their proximity in the electronic system.
Y-rays do exist. The Y is the Greek symbol for gamma. Gamma rays have more energy than x-rays and are therefore put after them.

Is gamma radiation more harmful than X-ray radiation?
In general, gamma radiation is more harmful than X-rays. That's because gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) and have higher energy than the X-rays. Certainly it can be seen that this applies for similar dosages. Standing all day in front of an X-ray machine and getting zapped will harm you more than walking past a small exposed cobalt-60 source. But photon for photon, the gamma ray does more tissue or biological damage than the X-ray does.
cheaters will not be helped
Yes and no. It is a dense metal but the xrays would react with the molecules in tungsten and that causes more xrays. This reaction is called compton scatter.
Can meat that passes through an X-ray be bad for you?
No, the X-rays won't negatively affect the meat. By the way, X-rays are used in industrial food manufacture to spot any metal that might have gotten into a product during production.
If your getting an X-ray how do you make it look broken?
when the doctor x-rays your ankle tighten your ankle like it's broken
