Which one of the following is not a reason for not using X-rays in communication?
A)
Highly attenuated
B)
Ionizing radiation
C)
High power is required
D)
Stopped by ionizing effects

Correct Answer :   Stopped by ionizing effects


Explanation : X-rays are not stopped by ionizing effects and that was the only reason they were ever thought they could be used in communication. In re-entry vehicles, a temporary communication cut off is experienced due to ionizing effects. X- rays were hard to modulate and focus and hence gradually let down.
