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.

A Mathematical Model

Examples

Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible

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.
