Which of these changes occurs in X-rays due to Rayleigh scattering?
A)increase in wavelength
B)increase in frequency
C)increase in energy
D)no change in energy, frequency, or wavelength

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rayleigh scattering does not alter the energy, frequency, or wavelength of X-rays; it involves the elastic scattering of light (or other electromagnetic radiation) by particles much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation, resulting in no change to these properties.
