They travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and in straight lines.
m). They can be treated as waves (exhibiting refraction and reflection) or as photons (particles of light). Charge: They are electrically neutral and carry no charge. Elements of Modern X-ray Physics
Modern X-ray physics revolves around understanding the dual wave-particle nature of high-energy photons and their diverse interactions with matter. Much of the current state of the field is captured in the textbook by Jens Als-Nielsen and Des McMorrow, which details the foundational principles and applications of X-ray science. Fundamental Principles They travel at the speed of light in
