Do X-rays have high or low energy?

X-rays are a high-energy type of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. X-ray radiation has a much shorter wavelength than visible light, so X-ray photons have much higher energies than photons of light. X-rays lie between ultraviolet “light” and gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum.13 Tem 2005

What is the wavelength of X-rays?

X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum (wavelength is given in angstroms). X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01–10 nm , corresponding to frequencies in the range of 3×1016–3×1019 Hz and energies in the range of 100 eV to 100 keV. They are shorter in wavelength than UV rays and longer than gamma rays.
