Radiation is an emission or transmission of energy in form of waves or particles through space or medium, this energy can be divided like: - Electromagnetic waves like radio waves, visible light and x-rays Particle radiation like alfa, beta and neutron radiation Acoustic radiation like ultrasound, sound and seismic waves(waves of earthquake) X-rays is a highly penetrating and ioning radiation and electromagnetic waves with wavelength 10-9hz, when x-ray photon collide with atom then this atom ionize and smaller atom absorb less energy, as these are present in more quantity in soft tissue and larger calcium atoms absorb more energy present in bone and teeth,its make base for xray radiography. Radiation are divided into 2 forms: - Ionizing radiation includes x-rays, alfa, beta and gamma rays these rays ionize the atom of living material and break the chemical bond and kill the cell.…
