Question

Tissues such as the muscles show up as gray on an X-ray because

some of the X-ray loses its energy as it passes through them. What is
this process called?
attenuation
o transmission
ionization
O excitation

Answer 1

attenuation

Step-by-step explanation:

"X-ray" is a type of radiation that is commonly used during diagnostic tests. It provides images within the person's body that are need for diagnosis. The images provided doesn't come in multi-colors but in "black-and-white." This largely depends on the penetration of the X-ray beam into the matter.

• The deeper the penetration, the lower its intensity.

This means that the X-ray loses its energy as it travels deeper. The intensity then gets weaker.
