Select the scientist connected with discovery of X-rays?

Select the scientist connected with discovery of X-rays? Correct Answer Rontgen

CONCEPT: 

  • Electromagnetic spectrum: It is a collection of a range of different waves in sequential order from radio to gamma electromagnetic waves.

Properties of X-ray:

  • X-rays are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength range 0.1Å – 100Å.
  • The wavelength of X-rays is small in comparison to the wavelength of the light. Hence they carry more energy.
  • They are invisible.
  • They travel in a straight line with the speed of light.
  • X-rays are measured in Rontgen (a measure of ionization power).
  • X-rays carry no charge so they are not deflected in the magnetic field and electric field.
  • They ionize gases.
  • They produce a photoelectric effect and the Compton effect
  • These cannot be used in Radar because they are not reflected by the target.

EXPLANATION:

  • Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered X-Rays in 1895. Therefore option 2 is correct.
  • He discovered while working with a cathode-ray tube in his laboratory.
  • The frequency of X-Rays is 1016 to 1019 Hz.
  • X-rays are used to detect the cracks in bones, in medicine and industries, and also in security purposes.

The following paragraph is taken from the Class VII science NCERT textbook-Discovery of silk: The exact time of the discovery of silk is perhaps unknown. According to an old Chinese legend, the empress Si-lung-Chi was asked by the emperor Huang-ti to find the cause of the damaged leaves of mulberry trees growing in their garden. The empress found white worms eating up mulberry leaves. She also noticed that they were spinning shiny cocoons around them. Accidentally a cocoon dropped into her cup of tea and a tangle of delicate threads separated from the cocoon. The silk industry began in China and was kept a closely guarded secret for hundreds of years. Later on, traders and travelers introduced silk to other countries. The route they traveled is still called the 'silk route'. What is the purpose of including the above in a science textbook?  a. to develop a historical perspective. b. to develop an appreciation of how incidents/ideas give rise to the discovery of new things. c. to develop a holistic understanding of science d. to make science textbooks light as the above is just for information and not for testing
