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.
Read moreWhat are 6 characteristics of X-rays?
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.
Read moreHow many properties does an X-ray have?
The Properties Of X-Ray are divided into 4 headings: Physical. Chemical. Biological.
Read moreWhat is X-ray and its properties?
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.
