Question
Write a short note on X-rays.
✓

Answer

→The region of electro magnetic spectrum beyond the UV region is called X-ray region.
→Range of wave length: 10-8m(10 nm) to 1013m ($10^{-4}nm$).
→X-rays can be generated by bombarding a metal target by high energy electrons.
→X-rays are used as a diagnostic tool in medicine and as a treatment for certain forms of cancer.
→Because X-rays damage (or destroy) living tissues and organisms, care must be taken to avoid unnecessary or over exposure.

A short bar magnet placed in a horizontal plane has its axis aligned along the magnetic north-sourth direction. Null points are found on the axis of the magnet at 14 cm from the centre of the magnet. The earth's magnetic field at the place is 0.36 G and the angle of dip is zero. What is the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at the same distance as the null points (i.e. 14 cm) from the centre of the magnet? (at null points, field due to a magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field).
