How do X-rays interact with matter compared to visible 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
