Question
Diamond is transparent to which rays?
- UV rays
- X rays
- Infrared rays
- Gamma rays
Hint:
This ray is also used to detect a fracture in bone.
The correct answer is: X rays
The correct option is b)X rays.
Pure diamonds are transparent to X-rays, so they are transparent to X-rays.
Diamond absorbs X-rays at all X-ray wavelengths, but to varying degrees, with shorter wavelengths (or higher energies) being much less absorbed than longer wavelengths. The measured absorption is due to both the actual absorption and scattering of X-rays by atomic electrons.
