Skipping Stones of Light: Grazing Incidence X Ray Telescopes

Questions: 20 | Attempts: 13 | Last updated: Feb 13, 2026

Sample Question
Why can't conventional "normal incidence" mirrors (like those in home bathrooms) be used to focus high-energy X-rays?

X-rays are too cold to reflect

X-ray photons are absorbed by or pass through the mirror material

X-rays only reflect off liquid surfaces

The silver coating on mirrors turns X-rays into radio waves

X-rays move too slowly to be reflected
