Which statements are true for X-ray? (A) The wavelength range of X-rays is about $10^{-8} m$ to $10^{-13} m$. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A), (B) and (E) Only (B), (C) and (D) Only (A), (C) and (D) Only (A), (D) and (E) Only |
(A), (C) and (D) Only |
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (C) and (D) Only (A) The typical wavelength range of X-Rays is between $10^{-8}m (100 nm)$ and $10^{-13}m(0.01nm)$ which falls within X-Ray region. (C) X-Rays are ionizing radiation, which means they have enough energy to remove electrons from the molecules, potentially causing damage to living tissues and DNA. (D) X-Rays are commonly generated in X-ray tubes by bombarding a metal target with high energy electrons. |
