Question

The penetration power of X-rays depends only on the wavelength of the radiation.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Origin of the question is Radiography topic in portion Non Destructive Techniques of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) False

The best I can explain: In radiography, there is an X-ray wave used for non-destructive testing. The penetration power of the X-ray depends not just on the wavelength of the radiation but also on the absorbing power of the material.
