Essay On Waves

X-Rays

Of course you have heard of the word wave, as in the ocean waves but it turns out that the term wave has another meaning, a scientific one. Waves are all around us. How do you think you hear people when they speak? Also how do water waves form? It’s all because of waves.

A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one place to another. There are three types of waves longitudinal, transverse and surface waves. Longitudinal waves can also be called p-waves. Longitudinal waves are when particles of a wave travel back and forth in the same direction the wave travels. An example of longitudinal waves is sound. The vibration we feel and the sound we hear are longitudinal waves. Another word for transverse waves are s-waves. S-waves are when the particles move up and down perpendicularly to the wave particles. Examples of transvers waves are: all electromagnetic radiation like light, waves on a string and ripples on water. Longitudinal waves

Some of the chemical properties are that x-rays produce color change of different substances or their solutions, such as Methylene Blue gets bleached. X-rays produce high active radiation OH in water that why they bring some chemicals change solutions. X-rays also have chemical properties such as has a speed of 186,000 miles/seconds. Also you can’t see X-rays because they are invisible to your eye. X-rays can’t focus on a single point, the rays spread out. X-rays cannot be smelled nor heard. they travel on a straight line but only in free spaces. When x-rays interact with some martials they penetrate and cause ionization. X-rays also show heating effects. X-rays have many other physical properties. Some of the biologic properties are that x-rays have bactericidal effects and it has a somatic effect. Some of the physicochemical properties that x-rays can produce an image on a photo graphic
