Question

Alloys of gold are used in x-ray tubes and as a shield against radiation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Gold has higher absorption. It has got lots of electrons. X-ray absorption is largely due to interaction with electrons.
• lead is also a shielding material but not as good as gold is.
• So, Alloys of gold are used in x-ray tubes as a shielding material against radiation.

Thus, the given statement is True. i.e., Alloys of gold are used in x-ray tubes and as a shield against radiation.
