X-RAYSX-RAYS
X-ray (or radiographic images) use the x-ray part of the em spectrum toexpose the subject• short wavelength (
l
): < 1 nm (more than x10000 shorter than visible)• high energy (E=h
n=
hc
 /l
-
n
=c/
l
): > 1keV• high frequency (
n
=c/
l
)E: energy (in eV)
l
: wavelengthh: plank’s constantc: speed of light
n
: frequencyRem: eV is the energy that an e- acquires when accelerated one meter distance in an electric field of a potential difference of 1 V(e is charge and V is potential difference).
 
X-RAY FILMX-RAY FILM
• Contains a blue-green sensitive emulsion• Large crystals• Gives optical density related to input exposure via the H&D curve• Large tonal (dynamic range) 1000:1 instead of 100:1 for norm. films

X-RAY TUBEX-RAY TUBE
• Basic x-ray tube is a vacuum tube containing a tungsten filament (anode), bombarded by e- accelerated by kV. Photons are created from this process• The emission x-ray spectrum has a continuum and line (spike) characteristics
