What is X-ray and its properties?

The Properties Of X-Ray are divided into 4 headings: Physical. Chemical. Biological.

What are the properties of X-rays? X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation similar to radio waves, microwaves, visible light and gamma rays . X-ray photons are highly energetic and have enough energy to break up molecules and hence damage living cells.

X-rays have waveform characteristics of velocity, wavelength, frequency and amplitude . Many materials are transparent to x-rays, while lead and other dense materials will not transmit the radiation. X-rays can be detected with photographic film, similar to visible light.
