=__Isotope and Radioactivity__= = = =Name of radioactive isotope/electromagnetic radiation/scientist:= =X-ray= =Explanation of interesting facts: (how used/works.experiments/discoveries)= =3 Advantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/benefits of discovery=
 * 1) Wilhelm Roentgen discovered on november 8 1895 friday his new invention that he called the x-ray
 * 2) He used Lenard's tubes in which a thin aluminium window had been added to the cathode rays to exit the tube but he added a cardboard covering to protect the aluminium from damage by the strong electrostatic field so it would produce the cathode rays. He discovered that the invisible cathode rays caused a fluorescent effect on a small cardboard screen painted with barium platinocyanide when it was placed close to the aluminium window.
 * 3) The x-ray Wilhelm invented could show all the bones in your body. He first tested his invention on his wife's hand and she said "it looked like death"
 * 4) It took Wilhelm several tries and using a bunch of different products like Hittorf-Crookes Tube which which also cause this fluorescent effect till he finally got it right.
 * 5) These rays could go through solid wood or flesh
 * 6) He was the first person to discover the possibility of using electromagnetic radiation to create the X-ray.

1. In 1901 Wilhelm was awarded the very first Nobel Prize....In Physics

2. Because of this discovery the first x-ray that was used in the first radiology departments in the world they found a kidney stone and they also found a penny in a womens throat and and a needle stabbed into a women's hand

3. The x-rays was also used to help treat the soldiers that were fighting in the Boar War and the ones fighting in World War 1

=3 Disadvantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery:= 1. 1900s the damaging qualities of x-rays were shown to be very powerful in fighting cancers and skin diseases.

2. They had to find ways to use the rays and make sure they weren't putting the people in risk of getting hurt.

=Is the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery still used today? Explain=

The invention that Wilhelm Roentgen invented is still used today helping people if they are hurt in hospitals and more. the x-ray today always doctors to see broken bones or anything in your body that might not be normal ,also the x-ray is helpful to densit so they can see ur teeth and gums easyer
