Slide 1 : X-Rays Introduction

X-Rays are the rays of short wavelength . X-Radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation composed of X-rays . X-Rays poses greater wavelength than gamma rays but shorter than Ultra Violet rays . X-Rays are also known as Roentgen Radiation (Peter , 1995 . X-Rays are being used in number of fields they are widely used for Radiography Crystallography . X-Rays are form of ionizing radiation can be dangerous in some cases . Patients usually wear metal sheet while facing X-Rays to weaken the harmful

effects

Slide 3 : How X-Rays Works

X-rays are similar to visible light rays . X-rays are wavelike form of electromagnetic energy composed of small particles known as Photons X-Ray photon is produced by the movement of electrons in atoms . When an electron drops in lower orbit , it needs to release some energy in the form of photons . The energy level of photon varies depending upon the distance of electron fall between orbital . When Photon collides with another atom , the atom absorbs photon energy boosts an electron to higher orbit if the energy level of photon does not match with the difference between two electron positions , the photon can 't shift electrons between orbital . A larger atom is more likely to absorb photon energy , smaller atoms are less like to absorb photon energy so they can 't shift electron like larger atom . X-Rays machines put the some concept for the production of X-Rays
