Which of the following is true about X rays?
- A.
Uses a vacuum and low potential difference
- B.
Denser materials cause less blackening
- C.
Form of electromagnetic energy with long wavelength
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Denser materials cause less blackeningExplanation
Denser materials cause less blackening in X rays because X rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves that can penetrate through materials. When X rays pass through a material, they interact with the atoms and electrons in the material. Denser materials have more atoms and electrons, which results in more interactions and scattering of the X rays. This scattering reduces the amount of blackening on the X-ray film or detector, making denser materials appear less black.Rate this question:
