X Rays
As the wavelengths of light decrease, they increase in energy. X-rays have smaller wavelengths and therefore higher energy than ultraviolet waves. We usually talk about X-rays in terms of their energy rather than wavelength. This is partially because X-rays have very small wavelengths. It is also because X-ray light tends to act more like a particle than a wave. X-ray detectors collect actual photons of X-ray light.
X-rays were first observed and documented in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a German scientist who found them quite by accident when experimenting with vacuum tubes.
A week later, he took an X-ray photograph of his wife's hand which clearly revealed her wedding ring and her bones. The photograph electrified the general public and aroused great scientific interest in the new form of radiation. Roentgen called it "X" to indicate it was an unknown type of radiation. The name stuck, although (over Roentgen's objections), many of his colleagues suggested calling them Roentgen rays. The information provided was found from the website "http://science.hq.nasa.gov/kids/imagers/ems/xrays.html".
"This information was relevent to the class we took on waves. An X ray is an electral magnetic wave. It does not require a medium to go through. Unlike that of a mechanical wave, which requires a medium to go through. The invention of the X ray was a big advancement in the medical field. It allows doctors to see the stucture of human bones, and its purpose is for medical imaging. The photograph from an X ray can tell if a persons bone is crack, fractured, or broken in any shape or form. X rays are also used for angiography which is the studies of hollow organs. The invention of X rays has better the technology that for medical imaging. This is an example of the field X rays are used."
