प्रश्न
What role dose infra-red radiation play in physical therapy?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The molecules of CO₂, NH₃ and water which are present in most materials absorb infrared waves. Due to this, the molecules heat and heat their surroundings. Hence, their thermal motion increases. Medical instruments, such as the infrared lamp which is used in physiotherapy, work on this principle.

Continuous X-rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming X-rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic X-rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only Kα intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation v − (25 × 1014Hz)(Z − 1)2.
