Q

12 Properties of X-ray

A

Highly penetration, invisible rays (cant see, hear or feel them)

Electrically neutral (have no charge or electric field)

Cannot be focused (optical lenses cannot focus or control)

Cause chemical and biological effects (ability to compromise cells)

Affects photographic film (can cause images to appear on film)

Cause certain crystals to fluoresce (can strike substances which produce light)

Travel in straight lines (x-ray beams are divergent and each photon travels in a straight line)

Travel at the speed of light (in a vacuum tube)

Create small amounts of heat (release heat while passing through matter)

Create secondary and scatter radiation (photons can be absorbed and produce secondary radiation or scatter)

Heterogeneous & polyenergetic (photons contain various energy levels)

Can ionize matter (can add or remove electrons)
