IIT JAM Physics MCQ Test 2 - Question 11

Consider the following statements with reference to X-rays: 
1. They produce heat when absorbed by matter. 
2. They are generated when fast-moving electrons strike a metal target. 
3. They can penetrate through a thin sheet of aluminium. 
Which of the statements given above are correct?

Detailed Solution for IIT JAM Physics MCQ Test 2 - Question 11

The following statements are reference to X-rays: 
1. They produce heat when absorbed by matter : X-ray beam attenuation. As the x-ray beam passes through tissue, photons get absorbed so there is less energy; this is known as attenuation. It turns out that higher energy photons travel through tissue more easily than low-energy photons (i.e. the higher energy photons are less likely to interact with matter). 
2. They are generated when fast-moving electrons strike a metal target : An electromagnetic wave called x-ray is produced when fast moving electrons impact on high atomic weight substances. However, when these fast moving electrons strike on a metal target, a photoelectric effect occurs. 
3. They can penetrate through a thin sheet of aluminium : X-Rays will Pass Straight through Aluminium of Almost ANY Thickness as it's Density is so Low !! But the Crystalline Structure of Diamond makes it Totally Opaque to X-Rays !! X-Rays do not "see"! But yes, they can pass easily through a single sheet of aluminum foil.
