Röntgen's rays

Röntgen's rays, commonly known as X-rays, are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation discovered by Wilhelm Röntgen in 1895. They can penetrate many materials, including human tissue, but are absorbed differently depending on density. This property allows X-rays to create images of the inside of the body, aiding in medical diagnosis like viewing bones and detecting injuries or illnesses. X-rays are used widely in medicine, industry, and security, but must be handled carefully to minimize tissue exposure to radiation. Their discovery revolutionized medical imaging by providing a non-invasive way to see inside the body.
