What is the name of the tube used to produce x-rays?
483295
now called x-ray tube, earlier called Coolidge tube\n (10 pts.,eh..?)\n\n\nits definitely not roentgen or cathode tube\n\nroentgen discovered X-rays not the tube\nthe tube was discovered by coolidge

You can create electricity using an ionizing chamber. The source has to be relatively strong to create a minimal ammount of electricity. One downfall of gamma radiation is that it can be reduced significantly by dense particles. it would be economically non feasible. It is currently being used to determine material density by measuring the voltage produced at the ionization chamber. The higher the voltage, the less density the material is. Usually in the 0-5 volts range depending on the source bequerel.

Application history of synchrotron radiation?\n\n \nSince their discovery by Roentgen just over 100 years ago, X-rays have been a powerful tool in research, industry and medicine. All facets of X-ray research have been revolutionized by the use of synchrotron radiation and the high brightness beams now available. The graph shows the rapid increase in the brightness of X-ray beams available for research, since the introduction of synchrotron radiation in the 1960's.\n\nFirst generation synchrotron sources were high energy physics accelerators, where the synchrotron radiation was an unwanted by-product.\n\nIn the 1960s, physicists and chemists began to use the radiation from several of these accelerators in a "parasitic mode". The second generation of synchrotron radiation facilities, such as the Photon Factory in Japan, were constructed expressly to provide synchrotron X-rays for research.\n\nRecently a third generation of facilities is being completed, for example, the 7 GeV Advanced Photon Source in the USA, and are providing even higher brightness X-ray beams, about 10,000 times higher than those of the second generation.\n\nToday's application\nSynchrotron radiation has become an indispensable tool in a wide range of research fields. \nUsing the intense UV, soft X-ray and hard X-ray beams produced at synchrotron radiation facilities, scientists can: determine the structure of materials and molecules, the electronic (chemical) structure of surfaces and interfaces; analyze tiny trace element concentrations in micron-sized regions; measure local molecular structures in disordered systems e.g. solutions and catalysts; obtain 3-D CAT scan images with micron resolution, and so on.\n\nOne of the first techniques to make use of synchrotron radiation was X-ray crystallography: the determination of atomic structure from X-ray diffraction data.\n\nX-ray crystallography has historically been the primary tool used to investigate the structure of matter: the atomic and crystal structures of most materials have been determined using these techniques. \nThis structural knowledge is central to the development of many new technologies, e.g. pharmaceuticals and nanotechnology. \n \nSynchrotron radiation, because of the characteristics mentioned above, has not only allowed the extension of conventional crystallographic techniques to the investigation of new materials and macro-molecules, but it has also facilitated major advances in the understanding of the structure and dynamics of ceramics, superconductors, polymers and the structure of surfaces and interfaces, even at the level of single layers of molecules.\n\nThere is a graph and a pic but i was unable to include them in the theory as it would not allow me to do so. Hope it is help ful.

A c-arm is an xray unit that can be moved around to allow for use different areas. It has a c-shaped arm that emits the xrays, that moves in many directions. This allows for xrays taken in unusual positions, such as in surgery, so that the patient does not need to be moved, and sterility can also be preserved.

What do you mean by "test tubing?"  Test tubes are used in many types of experiments.

higher \n\nX-rays are a high-energy type of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. X-ray radiation has a much shorter wavelength than visible light, so X-ray photons have much higher energies than photons of light.

Half-lives are part of the answer.\n\nIt is also used to compute the amount of energy absorbed by an exposure to radiation of this or that energy, of a given intensity for a given period of time.\n\nIt is used to construct the tables that tell the X-Ray technologist how to set up the machine (kV and mAs) to take chest films, hand X-rays, and whatever else: that's called Technique Charts.\n\nCT and MRI scanners use mathematical algorithms to generate the pictures they take--usually a version of Fisher & Tukey's fast factoring algorithm for 2 or 3 D reverse Fourier transform...  Yeah, right, that's a mouthful, and I hope I've got it clearly...\n\nThey used to use it to figure out how to move the X-ray emitter and the film to do plain old tomography, but on the whole, that's gone by the wayside since the advent of computerized tomography (CT)\n\nThere's probably more, but that's a good start.

Gamma rays (often denoted by the Greek letter gamma, γ) are an energetic form of electromagnetic radiation produced by radioactivity or other nuclear or subatomic processes such as electron-positron annihilation.\n\nGamma rays form the highest-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are often defined to begin at an energy of 10 keV, a frequency of/ 2.42 EHz, or a wavelength of/ 124 pm, although electromagnetic radiation from around 10 keV to several hundred keV is also referred to as hard X rays. It is important to note that there is no physical difference between gamma rays and X rays of the same energy — they are two names for the same electromagnetic radiation, just as sunlight and moonlight are two names for visible light. Rather, gamma rays are distinguished from X rays by their origin. Gamma ray is a term for high-energy electromagnetic radiation produced by nuclear transitions, while X ray is a term for high-energy electromagnetic radiation produced by energy transitions due to accelerating electrons. Because it is possible for some electron transitions to be of higher energy than some nuclear transitions, there is an overlap between what we call low energy gamma rays and high energy X-rays.\n\nGamma rays are a form of ionizing radiation; they are more penetrating than either alpha or beta radiation (neither of which is electromagnetic radiation), but less ionizing. They produce damage similar to that caused by X-rays, such as burns, cancer, and genetic mutations. Gamma rays from nuclear fallout would probably cause the largest number of casualties in the event of the use of nuclear weapons in a nuclear war. An effective fallout shelter reduces human exposure at least 1000 times.

It is used in inspecting for micro fractures in metal and usually welding. Most places with govt. contracts especially for airplanes and weaponry can't afford micro fractures in welds and such. Some form of xray is also used to help detect fractures.

X-rays can cause certain phosphors to fluoresce.

they weren't "invented" so much as they were discovered.  here's the answer i think you are looking for, though.\n\nAmong the important early researchers in X-rays were Professor Ivan Pului, Sir William Crookes, Johann Wilhelm Hittorf, Eugen Goldstein, Heinrich Hertz, Philipp Lenard, Hermann von Helmholtz, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Charles Glover Barkla, Max von Laue, and Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.\n\n \nEX: water cooled X-ray tube: Physicist Johann Hittorf (1824 - 1914) observed tubes with energy rays extending from a negative electrode. These rays produced a fluorescence when they hit the glass walls of the tubes. In 1876 the effect was named "cathode rays" by Eugen Goldstein. Later, English physicist William Crookes investigated the effects of energy discharges on rare gases, and constructed what is called the Crookes tube. It is a glass vacuum cylinder, containing electrodes for discharges of a high voltage electric current. He found, when he placed unexposed photographic plates near the tube, that some of them were flawed by shadows, though he did not investigate this effect.
