X-rays (x-rays) are high-energy electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength falls between ultraviolet rays and gamma rays. X-rays were named because of their resemblance to those emitted by the natural phenomenon of a photographic flash. Since the flash was visible in the dark, it was believed that this was the emission of light, and not ordinary ionized air, and therefore was called X-rays. It is this emitted radiation that is called x-rays.
X-rays are electromagnetic waves that have high energy. The length of these waves is much shorter than the length of electromagnetic waves in other ranges. This is why we say that X-ray radiation is precisely radiation, because it is usually classified as a radio wave, although the characteristics of X-ray waves do not quite correspond to this category.
X-rays were first discovered in 1895 by physicists Wilhelm Roentgen and Heinrich Braunschweig. In 1901, the X-ray machine was invented, which allowed physicists to more accurately study the process of X-ray radiation. By the end of the 20th century, X-ray technology had reached the highest level, which justifies its popularity and use in the medical field and industry. With the help of such devices, a detailed study of the human anatomical structure is carried out and cancer is detected at an early stage. X-rays have a positive effect on human health. They have preventive and therapeutic functions and make it possible to detect dangerous diseases at the earliest stages of development. During diagnosis, flat X-ray panels are used. Important organs of the human body are visible by obtaining images in the form of shadows due to the falling
