Question

X-rays find application in medical scenarios for generating images of bones, tissues, and organs. While X-rays can penetrate tissues like skin, their ability to penetrate bone is comparatively lower. This property of X-rays is attributed to which characteristic of the rays? (1 point)

I apologize for the confusion. X-rays have short wavelengths, which allows them to penetrate tissues like skin. However, their ability to penetrate bone is comparatively lower due to their interaction with dense materials. Bone absorbs or scatters more X-rays than soft tissues, resulting in a decreased ability to penetrate bone effectively. Therefore, the property of X-rays that affects their penetration of bone is associated with their short wavelengths.
