An X-ray can go through anything. The question is how much of it does that X-ray have to penetrate? An X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation, and it has excellent penetrating power. It is only material with a high density that can shield us against them, and lead is a good example. Concrete is also pretty good, and it's cheap and readily available as a building material.
X-rays come in a range of energies, and some (the higher energy ones) are better at going through stuff than others. X-rays penetrate all things, but go farther into things of lower density. It's a "probability" thing that determines how far X-rays will penetrate. We talk about a half-thickness of a shielding material, and that is the thickness of that material that is required to reduce a given amount of a specific radiation by half. You can see that doubling that amount of shielding will not stop all the radiation, but will still allow a quarter of it to get through.
When chosing a material to shield against X-rays, things with a high density (like lead) will be more effective than less dense materials. Consideration must be given to the source and how it's being used when designing shielding around the X-ray generator.
It depends on the power of the generator, but generally speaking an x-ray is a type of radiation, which is generally shielded against by lead.
Any sufficiently dense material over a sufficient distance could serve as a shield, however - as you add thicker shielding the protection against radiation becomes exponential.
However, usually lead is used because it's dense (at the molecular level, meaning there isn't a lot of space for radiation to slip past) and cheap. The thickness of it varies on the type of generator, ie the power behind it, but generally the more power the thicker the lead.
LEAD
They do not show up on regular x rays
It's x-rays that can show your bones.
Yes hickeys do show up on x-rays. and tooth paste does not get rid of them
Arteries probably won't show up on normal x-rays because x-rays are supposed to be used to show the bones; I am not completely sure what to say though.
coz it cant
Because if there is a chance you are pregnant the X-rays could harm your unborn child.
x rays can hurt but cant kill you. so if there searching for a life threatning object in your body it matters. so they are helpful but they sometimes injure people.
You have to be at least over 18 to be one, because that is the legal age to do X-rays, and you cant be a vet tech without doing x-rays
Your wisdom should not start to show in x-rays when you are twelve. They will not begin to show until all the other teeth have fully developed in the mouth.
X-rays don't show ligaments or muscles but some views will indicate the evidence that there may be torn ligaments eg. if the bones are widely separated or out of alignment.
The ohot would be faded bacause the x-rays would not have passed though your body long enough to show a clear picture
