Question

Write a short note on $X-$ rays.

✓

Answer

$\rightarrow $ The region of electro magnetic spectrum beyond the $UV$ region is called $X-$ ray region.
$\rightarrow $ Range of wave length: $10^{-8}m(10 \ nm)$ to $10^{13}m (10^{-4}\ nm).$
$\rightarrow X-$rays can be generated by bombarding a metal target by high energy electrons.
$\rightarrow X-$rays are used as a diagnostic tool in medicine and as a treatment for certain forms of cancer.
$\rightarrow $ Because $X-$rays damage $($ or destroy $)$ living tissues and organisms, care must be taken to avoid unnecessary or over exposure.

${ }^{57} \mathrm{Co}$ decays to ${ }^{57} \mathrm{Fe}$ by $\beta^{+}-$emission. The resulting ${ }^{57} \mathrm{Fe}$ is in its excited state and comes to the ground state by emitting $\gamma-$ rays. The half-life of $\beta^{+}-$decay is 270 days and that of the $\gamma-$ emissions is $10^{-8} \mathrm{~s} . \mathrm{A}$ sample of ${ }^{57} \mathrm{Co}$ gives $5.0 \times 10^9$ gamma rays per second. How much time will elapse before the emission rate of gamma rays drops to $2.5 \times 10^9$ per second?
