Study Notes

X-rays

X-rays have a shorter wavelength within the electromagnetic spectrum.
High voltage is required to produce X-rays.
X-rays are commonly used to detect skeletal defects in humans due to their ability to penetrate soft tissue.
X-rays travel in a straight line and do not carry an electrical charge.
X-rays can travel through a vacuum.
