PART – A
Question 1.
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions :
What do you mean by an X-ray ? X-rays are a form of radiation, similar to light, heat
and radio-waves. They are invisible and travel in straight lines at the speed of light that is
1, 86,000 miles per second. X-rays were discovered by a German named Wilhelm Conrad
Rontgen on 8 November 1895 accidentally. He called the newly discovered form or radiation
x-radiation or unknown radiation, as he was unaware of the source of radiation.

They can penetrate a great thickness of material say 11 inches of steel. This means that
X-rays can definitely penetrate human bodies.

Although X-rays cannot be seen and are invisible, it they are directed at a screen coated
with a special substance, the screen will glow.

If a hand is placed in front of the screen, a bright shadow of the hand will be cast on the
screen with the bones casting a deeper shadow than the flesh, so that they stand out clearly.
Not only does the outline show up in the picture, but the internal structure shows up as well.

If you take a brick and place it in front of the screen, it will cast the simple, dark
shadow. If the brick is left there for a few minutes, weak waves will penetrate it and reach the
screen. These rays can be recorded on a film, Such a film is known as a radiograph.

Radiographs are used by doctors to examine broken bones, to trace articles such as
coins or pins, etc. that may have been swallowed. Engineers use X-rays to examine metals to
ensure that they are free from cracks or other defects. X-rays are also greatly used in aviation
as they allow the internal structure of the wings and fuselages or aircrafts to be examined
without dismantling them.

a. Give the meaning of the following words : 3 x 1= 3

i) invisible ii) trace iii) dismantling

b. Answer the following questions :

i. What are X-rays ? [1]
ii. What is a radiographs ? How are they used ? [2]
iii. Give a title to the passage and give a reason why you have chosen that title. [2]
