Which of the following is correct regard...

Which of the following is correct regarding X-rays
(i) X-rays are electromagnetic radiation (photon) of short wavelength. X-rays move in straight lines in vacuum at a speed equal to that of light
(ii) Since X-rays are charge-less particles and therefore not deflected by electric or magnetic fields
(iii) X-rays are diffracted by crystals in accordance with Bragg's law. The Bragg's law states `2 d sin theta=n lambda`, where n is integer. `theta` is the angle at which X-ray is incident on the plane of atoms, d: distance between the parallel planes of atom
(iv) X-rays affect a photographic plate more strongly than visible light

  • Which of the following is incorrect for X rays (Roentgen rays)?

    A
    They are produced when a stream of electrons strikes a heavy metal traget forming part of a massive anode.
    B
    They are deflected by the electric and megnetic fields.
    C
    They are of very short wavelengths `(~0.1 nm)` and posses electromagnetic character.
    D
    The absorption of the rays by matter depends upon the density and the relative atomic mass (r.a.m.) of the material. The lower the r.a.m. and density, the more transparent is the material to `X` rays.
