ANS: A
Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles. An x-
ray is a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image sh
adows on a receptor. X-radiation is a high-
energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a metal target
