X-RAY => “It is an electromagnetic wave with a short wave“.
X-RAY PROPERTIES
– Not visible to the eye, moving in a straight line, and could affect photographic film as visible light;
– The breakdown is higher than in visible light, and can penetrate the human body, wood, several layers thick metal;– Can be used to create shadow images of an object on a photographic film (radiograph);
X-rays are electromagnetic waves with energy E = hf;
– Order an x-ray wavelength is 0.5 to 2.5 Å (whereas orede to visible light wavelength = 6000 Å). So the location of x-rays in the diagram is the spectrum of electromagnetic waves between the ultra violet rays and gamma rays;
– Unit of the x-ray wavelengths are often expressed in two types of units namely angstroom (Å) and x-ray unit (X Units = XU). 1 kXU = 1000 XU = 1.00202 Å;
– The wave equation for the electric field of polarized x-ray field is rE = A sin 2p (x / l – ft) = A sin (kx–wt). X-ray intensity is dE / dt (average energy flow per unit time) per one unit area perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The average value of x-ray intensity is directly proportional to A2. Unit intensity is ergs / (det.cm2).
