Answer to Problem 1RCQ

Solution:Roentgen discovers the emission of new kind of rays (X-ray).

Explanation of Solution

In year 1895, when German scientist Rontgen passes the cathode ray beam striking a glass surface, he found an unknown wave that could penetrate the solid materials, and could ionize the air. The ray showed no refraction in glass, and does not deflect in the presence of magnetic fields.

Rontgen names this high frequency electromagnetic wave as X-ray.

Conclusion:

When a cathode ray beam strikes a glass, then Rontgen discovered a new kind or ray termed as X-ray.
