Synopsis
Explore the science of X rays, radioactivity, and their effects on living systems—from the basics of how rays are produced to their impact on tissues, cells, and organisms.
This volume provides a clear, accessible introduction to the physics of X rays and radioactivity, followed by their biological actions. It outlines how early researchers understood cathode rays, discussed measurement methods, and connected physical principles to observations in health and disease. Rich with illustrations, the book surveys how different rays interact with matter, and it examines the physiological actions and practical implications of these powerful phenomena.
- Learn the origin and nature of X rays and radioactivity
- See how rays affect skin, blood, nerves, and organs
