|
X-rays have a wavelength.
|
|
|
X-rays can cause ionization.
|
|
|
X-rays travel at the speed of sound.
|
|
|
X-rays can produce an image on photographic ftlm.

Detailed explanation-1: -From the above observations, we can conclude that X-rays deflected by electric and magnetic fields do not characterize them. Therefore, option (C) is correct. Note: X-rays are electromagnetic waves.
Detailed explanation-2: -The defining characteristics of X-rays-their ability to penetrate optically opaque materials, their wavelengths of atomic dimension, the high energy of individual X-ray photons-lead to a wide range of industrial, medical, and scientific applications.
Detailed explanation-3: -As with other forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays can be described as coupled waves of electric and magnetic fields traveling at the speed of light (about 300, 000 km, or 186, 000 miles, per second).
Detailed explanation-4: -They have a shorter wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. Requires high voltage to produce X-Rays. They are used to capture the human skeleton defects. They travel in a straight line and do not carry an electric charge with them. They are capable of travelling in a vacuum.
