What happens to the x-ray when increasing distance?

  1. Increases quantity

  2. Decreases quantity

  3. Increases quality

  4. Decreases quality

The correct answer is: Decreases quantity

As the x-ray travels further from the source, the electromagnetic waves lose energy and therefore decrease in intensity and quantity. Option A and C may seem like logical choices, but quality and quantity are separate concepts in physics. Option D is incorrect as increasing distance does not change the properties or characteristics of x-rays.
