Questions and Answers

What is X-ray optics?

  • The branch of optics that manipulates gamma rays
  • The branch of optics that manipulates X-rays instead of visible light (correct)
  • The branch of optics that manipulates ultraviolet light
  • The branch of optics that manipulates infrared light

    • How do X-rays interact with matter compared to visible light?

  • X-rays tend to penetrate and eventually get absorbed in most materials without changing direction much (correct)
  • X-rays are completely absorbed by all materials they encounter
  • X-rays are easily redirected using lenses and mirrors
  • X-rays change direction significantly upon encountering materials

    • What is the most common principle used to redirect X-rays?

  • Diffraction at right angles
  • Refraction through large lenses
  • Interference using prisms
  • Reflection at grazing incidence angles (correct)
