Assertion : `X` - rays can penetrate through the flesh but not through the bones.
Reason : The penetrating power of `X` - rays depends on voltage.

A

If both assertion and reason are ture and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reson are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Hardness penetrating power of X- ray depends upon accelerating voltage applied across X-ray tube.Characterristic X-ray ralte to the meaterial of target . X-ray can't pass through matter of heavier element like bones (which contain oxygen. Hydrogen and carbon )
