Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contrast in X-ray imaging primarily depends on the sample's thickness, density, and the mass attenuation coefficient, which all affect how X-rays are absorbed or transmitted through the sample. The frequency of the X-ray photons, however, influences the energy of the X-rays, which is more directly related to the penetration power of the X-rays rather than the contrast of the resulting image. Contrast is more about the differential absorption in different parts of the sample, which is not directly determined by the photon frequency.
