CONCEPT

  • Electromagnetic spectrum: It is a collection of a range of different waves in sequential order from radio to gamma electromagnetic waves.

Properties of X-ray:

  • X-rays are electromagnetic waves with wavelength range 0. 1Å – 100Å.
  • The wavelength of X-rays is small in comparison to the wavelength of the light. Hence they carry more energy.
  • They are invisible.
  • They travel in a straight line with the speed of light.
  • X-rays are measured in Rontgen (a measure of ionization power).
  • X-rays carry no charge so they are not reflected in the magnetic field and electric field.
  • They ionize gases.
  • They produce photoelectric effect and Compton effect
  • These cannot be used in Radar because they are not reflected by the target.
  • They show all the important properties of light rays like reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction, and polarization, etc.

EXPLANATION:

  • From above it is clear that due to the high penetrating power of X – rays, it shows all the important properties of light rays like reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction, and polarization, etc. Therefore option 4 is correct.
