in our time, we will find out from our first guest, he is already in nikita's studio hello nikita stepanyuke of the research laboratory of ion-plasma modification of solids , faculty of physics, belarusian state university tell us more about radiation in general. where do x-rays come from? and what are x-rays anyway? rays? eh, they're not really that different . from, for example, ordinary visible light or from infrared radiation, and so on. the only difference is the frequency of this own radiation and , accordingly, the wavelength and energy that does not carry, respectively, x-rays. they are the highest frequency after the known gamma radiation and at the same time less high frequency than the known ultraviolet radiation in the transition from higher energy levels to lower any electron releases electromagnetic wave at one of the largest energy differences, it is x-ray radiation that is formed. it has rather low long wavelengths, and thanks to this, it is able , in general, to penetrate most of the materials known to us and thus help us in research and obtaining information. medicine - th
