Is XRAY low or high frequency?

X-rays are high-frequency , and thus high-energy, electromagnetic radiation. They have wavelengths ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometres, and thus frequencies from 3×1019 to 3×1016 Hz. They are found to reside between ultraviolet radiation and gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum.
