Properties of x-ray.
Properties of x-ray are given below
1) X-ray are invisible.
2) X-ray travel in straight line.
3) X-ray are not affected by electrical or magnetic fields.
4) X-ray have great penetration power.
5)Being electromagnetic wave, X-ray are electrically in neutral
6) X-ray affect photographic emulsion.
7) X-ray can liberate photoelectrons.
8) X-ray are partially scattered by matter
9) X-ray are able to ionize matter.
10) X-ray are cause fluorescence of certain crystal.
11) Their wave length ranges from 0.1-0.5 A and energy levels at 25Kev to 125 Kev.
12) X-ray travel in a straight line like 3 x 10-8 m/s.
13) X-ray cause biological change in living organism.
14) X-ray can produce secondary and scattered radiation.
15) It cannot be focused by a lens.
16) it effect photography film and can produce latent image.
