X-ray X rays were discovered in 1895 by W.C Roentgen, who called them X rays because their nature was at first unknown; they are sometimes also called roentgen

X-ray X-ray is invisible, highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation of much shorter wavelength(higher frequency) than visible light. The wavelength range for X rays is from less than a billionth of an inch to less than a trillionth of an inch

X-ray X rays are produced in a highly evacuated glass bulb, called an X-ray tube, that contains essentially two electrodes, an anode made of platinum, tungsten, or another heavy metal of high melting point, and a cathode. When a high voltage is applied between the electrodes streams of electrons(cathode rays)are accelerated from the cathode to the anode and produce X rays as they strike the anode

X-ray Most applications of X rays are based on their ability to pass through matter. This ability varies with different substances; e.g., wood and flesh are easily penetrated, but denser substances such as lead and bone are more opaque. The penetrating power of X rays also depends on their energy. The more penetrating X rays, known as hard X rays, are of higher frequency and are thus more energetic, while the less penetrating X rays, called soft X rays, have lower energies. X rays that have passed through a body provide a visual image of its interior structure when they strike a photographic plate or a fluorescent screen: the darkness of the shadows produced on the plate or screen depends on the relative opacity of different parts of the body

X-ray In a conventional x-ray exam, a small burst of radiation is aimed at and passes through the body, recording an image on photographic film or a special image recording plate. Bones appear white on the X-ray; soft tissue shows up in shades of gray and air appears black
