nounAlso x ray, X ray. Physics. Often x-rays. a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to light but of shorter wavelength and capable of penetrating solids and of ionizing gases. such radiation having wavelengths in the range of approximately 0.1–10 nanometers. a radiograph made by x-...
The word “laser” is an acronym for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.” In this case, the term “light” includes electromagnetic radiation of various frequencies, ranging from infrared and visible light to ultraviolet and even X-rays. Different types of lasers use differe...
raysThe purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a series of work ed examples in X -ray spectrometry and X -ray diffractometry, in such a way that each example can be treated either as a posed question, i. e. one to which the reader must himself provide an answer, or as...
