Question

4 types of electromagnetic radiation:

how is x ray interaction different from that seen in other thpes of electromagnetic radiation?

Answer 1

X-ray have highest energy.when they interact with matter they encounter with electrons and atomic nuclei. x-ray have enough energy to vibrate the electron .this cause ejection of a electron from atoms.called it excitation of electron.This excited electron emit energy in the form of x-ray .Each of the excited electron goes to transfer energy to matter. With each interaction,energy emit in different directions.The higher energy photon,traveling in same directions.so radiation moves from point to point in matter, it loses its energy through various interaction with the atoms. If the radiation have much energy, it may be go through the material.

ok thanks , if any query ask.
