Question
X-ray incident on a material:
✓
Answer
- Exerts a force on it.
- Transfers energy to it.
- Transfers momentum to it.
- Transfers impulse to it.
An X-ray exerts force on the material on which it is incident. For example, it can penetrate into metals. An X-ray also transfers energy, momentum and impulse to the material on which it incident. Therefore, all options are correct.
