Question

What are X Ray's and how are they produced?

Answer 1

X-Ray:

1. X-rays are a type of electromagnetic wave radiation.
2. Images of the inside of your body are created using X-ray imaging.
3. The images depict various parts of your body in various shades of black and white.
4. This is due to the fact that different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation.

Production of X-Ray:

1. When fast-moving electrons collide and interact with the target anode, they produce X-rays due to sudden deceleration.
2. More than 99 percent of the electron energy is converted into heat during this deceleration process, with less than 1 percent converted into x-rays.

A diagram of the X-Ray is given below:
