Plz help An X-ray technician will place a lead cloth over parts of your body when taking an X-ray to protect your cells from bei

ng damaged. Why do X-rays have the potential to harm your body but radio waves do not?
Question 6 options:

a.X-rays have a taller wavelength than radio waves as shown in the diagram, so they are more harmful.


c.Radio waves have longer wavelengths than X-rays and therefore carry more energy than X-rays.


c.Radio waves are shorter than X-rays and therefore weaker in strength..


d.X-rays have a much shorter wavelength than radio waves, and therefore carry more energy that can be transferred to your body.

Answer: The correct option is d.

Explanation:

The wavelength and the frequency have an inverse relationship. The shorter the wavelength of the wave, higher the frequency of the wave. Then the photon energy of the waves will be high because the energy of the photon is directly proportional to the frequency.

X-rays have a much shorter wavelength than radio waves. It carries more energy. It can ionize the matter. When it is incident on the biological material then it can disrupt the molecular bond.

This is the reason that an X-ray technician places a a lead cloth over parts of your body when taking an X-ray to protect your cells from being damaged.

Therefore, the correct option is d.

A circular coil of wire of radius 5.0 cm has 20 turns and carries a current of 2.0 A. The coil lies in a magnetic field of magni
Korvikt [17]

Answer:a. Magnetic dipole moment is 0.3412Am²

b. Torque is zero(0)N.m

Explanation: The magnetic dipole moment U is given as the product of the number of turns n times the current I times the area A

That is,

U = n*I*A

But Area A is given as pi*radius² since it is a circular coil

Radius given is 5cm converting to meter we divide by 100 so we have our radius to be 0.05m. So area A is

A = 3.142*(0.05)² =7.86*EXP {-3} m²

Current I is 2 A

Number of turns is 20

So magnetic dipole moment U is

U = 20*2*7.86*EXP {-3}=0.3142A.m²

b. Torque is given as the cross product of the magnetic field B and magnetic dipole moment U

Torque = B x U =B*U*Sine(theta)

But since the magnetic field is directed parallel to the plane of the coil from the question, it means that the angle between them is zero and sine zero is equals 0(zero) if you substitute that into the formula for torque you will find out that your torque would equals zero(0)N.m
