Interpretation:
The terms X ray has to be defined.
Concept introduction:
X rays are produced when cathode rays are pointed towards glass or metal. X rays have high energy to penetrate matter. X rays are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields, which tells that X rays do not have charged particles.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
X rays
X rays are produced when cathode rays are pointed towards glass or metal. X rays have high energy to penetrate matter. X rays are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields, which tells that X rays do not have charged particles. X-ray cannot penetrate bone. Therefore, this can be used to check breaks or fractures in bones. X-rays are used to identify tumors also.
