The image received by the absorbed X-ray is _.
Correct answer: C. Both A and B
- A. Inverted
- B. Real
- C. Both A and B
- D. Virtual
Explanation
X-rays are electromagnetic waves that can penetrate through materials and are used in various medical and industrial applications, including X-ray imaging. In X-ray imaging, X-rays are passed through the body or object being imaged, and the image is captured on a detector. The image obtained by X-ray imaging is both inverted and real. Inverted means that the image appears upside down compared to the actual object, while real means that the image is formed on the opposite side of the detector from the X-ray source, forming a real image.
