X-Rays

Short Description of Topic

The Main Idea

X-rays are an electromagnetic wave with high energy and very short wavelengths. X-rays are capable of passing through many materials that would be opaque to light.

X-rays are also commonly used in the medical field and serves as an essential role in producing images of internal compositions.

A Mathematical Model

X-Ray Reflectivity

Examples

Simple

In this image there are some X-rays passing through the entirety of the object, so their intensity is low; however, there are others that pass through less of the object, meaning less of the X-ray is absorbed. Given this information, the basic dimensions can be determined.

Connectedness

1. X-rays are a part of Electromagnetic Radiation, and I have always been interested in this subject in general, including visible light.
2. X-rays are commonly used in the medical field, as they can produce an image of an internal composition.

History

Put this idea in historical context. Give the reader the Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
