1. Have you ever tried to undergo an X- ray to test on youur body? What can you see in the fiom after the examination? Why is the bone being visible and not organs? 2.How do airports and some transportation stations detect a person affecteed by a virus? 3. What happen to white light as it hits a prism? plsss answer my question po0 pllssssssssss................

Answer:

1) λ < 2d, 2) nfrared imaging technique, 3) each color there is a different index of refraction

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to answer the three questions

1) When x-rays pass through matter in order to be dispersed, their wavelength must be of the order of the length of separation in the atoms and molecules of the body, in solid bones this length is similar and they scatter and reflect the x-rays therefore they can be observed, the fat and the soft tissue have a much greater separation therefore the x-rays cannot be reflected and consequently it is not observable by this technique.

2) At airports they use the infrared imaging technique, where the image is taken for the infrared wavelength, which is the heat part of the electromagnetic spectrum; consequently, when the image is viewed, the hottest areas appear brighter and, since when a person has a virus, his temperature rises, his temperature rises, it is possible to observe people with a higher temperature.

3) when white light hits a prism it is refracted with the equation

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where the incidence of refraction depends on the wavelength, therefore for each color there is a different index of refraction and consequently the light is separated in its different colors.
