The discovery of X-rays revolutionized the field of medicine and science.

This
presentation delves into the characteristics and properties of X-rays, shedding
light on their impact and applications.
In 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen made the groundbreaking discovery of X-rays while
experimenting with cathode rays. This led to the first X-ray image of his wife's
hand, marking the birth of radiography.
Nature of X-Rays
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic
radiation with high energy, capable of
penetrating various materials. Their
wavelengths are shorter than ultraviolet
rays, making them ideal for imaging dense
structures.
