X-ray technicians stand behind a shield when giving X-rays to patients because large doses of X-rays are known to cause cell damage and cancers.

Answer: D

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations like x-rays, alpha rays and other cosmic rays are harmful to human health and tissues to some extent when it is exposed for long time.

The x-rays are created when highly accelerated electrons hit the metal leading to ejection of electrons from its shell.

The x-rays are highly penetrate able but it cannot penetrate bones. So it is mostly used for getting scans of bones.

X-rays can penetrate cells and when exposed for large time in large doses it can harm the cell by damaging them or by creating cancer cells.

PLEASE HELP!!! 20 PIONTS!!!
timama [110]

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Explanation:

The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.
