A)
The energy of an x-ray photon used for single dental x-rays is
The energy of a photon is related to its wavelength by the equation
where
is the Planck constant
is the speed of light
is the wavelength
Re-arranging the equation for the wavelength, we find
B)
The energy of an x-ray photon used in microtomography is 2.5 times greater than the energy of the photon used in part A), so its energy is
And so, by using the same formula we used in part A), we can calculate the corresponding wavelength:
