Consider the following statementsX-rays1. Can pass through aluminum.2....
Statement 1: X-rays can pass through aluminum.
Yes, this statement is true. X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelength. They have the ability to penetrate matter to a certain extent. Aluminum, being a relatively low-density material, allows X-rays to pass through it. However, the extent to which X-rays can penetrate aluminum depends on the thickness and density of the aluminum. Thicker and denser aluminum will absorb more X-rays and reduce their ability to pass through.
Statement 2: X-rays can be deflected by a magnetic field.
No, this statement is false. X-rays are not charged particles, and therefore they do not interact with magnetic fields in the same way that charged particles do. Magnetic fields can only deflect charged particles such as electrons or protons. X-rays, being electromagnetic waves, are not affected by magnetic fields and continue to travel in a straight line unless they interact with matter.
Statement 3: X-rays move with a velocity less than the velocity of ultraviolet rays in a vacuum.
No, this statement is false. In a vacuum, both X-rays and ultraviolet (UV) rays travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second. X-rays and UV rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation and therefore travel at the same velocity in a vacuum.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis of the statements, we can conclude that only statement 1 is true. X-rays can pass through aluminum, but they are not deflected by magnetic fields and they travel at the same velocity as UV rays in a vacuum. Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Only 1.
