how can an xray image show differences between bone and soft tissues, such as muscles and lungs? How might the atoms that make up bones be different from the atoms that make up soft tissues?

1. An "x-ray image" shows the difference between the bones and soft tissues because the bones appear white in color while the soft tissues appear gray in color.

2. The reason behind the difference in the appearance of bones and soft tissues on the x-ray film is their density. Bones are denser than soft tissues, which means that its atoms are closely-knitted when compared to the soft tissues that are far apart from each other. This allows the x-ray radiation to be absorbed by the bone while it passes through most of the soft tissues.

This is the reason why pregnant women are advised not to undergo an x-ray examination because the fetus is denser and it will surely absorb the x-ray radiation.

An X ray is a X wave radiation that can penetrate from a high EMR and has wavelengths that are shorter than the UV rays. The concept of X rays where discovered in 1895.

The X ray image shows the difference between bones and the soft tissues. As the bones appear to be white in color and soft tissues appear grey in color.

As lungs also consists of bones they can vividly shown. Due to the bones being made of calcium they are different form the atoms that makes the soft tissues.
