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 single circular loop of wire of radius 0.75 m carries a constant current of 3.0 A. The loop may be rotated about an axis that
NISA [10]

Answer:

B = 0.8 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular loop, r = 0.75 m

Current in the loop, I = 3 A

The loop may be rotated about an axis that passes through the center and lies in the plane of the loop.

When the orientation of the normal to the loop with respect to the direction of the magnetic field is 25°, the torque on the coil is 1.8 Nm.

We need to find the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop. Torque acting on the loop is given by :

\tau=NIAB\sin\theta

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{\tau}{NIA\sin\theta}\\\\B=\dfrac{1.8}{1\times \pi \times (0.75)^2\times 3\times \sin(25)}\\\\B=0.8\ T

So, the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop is 0.8 T.
