Yes: X-rays have a wavelengths from 10 down to 0.01 nanometers, far less than the 380-780 nanometers of visible light. The short wavelengths allow an X-ray microscope to produce images of objects too small to be viewed using an optical microscope.

Do x-rays have longer or shorter wave length than visible light?

shorter


Is visible light longer or shorter then rays?

Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.


Do x-rays have a shorter wave-length than visible light?

Yes, they do.


Does X-rays have a shorter wavelength than visible light?

yes, visible rays have wave length from 7000-4000 and X-rays have 10-0.1 in angstroms


What has wavelength that are shorter than visible light?

We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.


Do light waves or gamma rays have shorter wave lengths?

I assume by light rays, you mean visible light rays. In this case, gamma rays have shorter wave lengths.


What has wavelengths that are shorter than light?

We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.


Is the wavelength of x-rays longer or shorter then the wavelengths of visible light?

"shorter"


What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?

Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared rays. Ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye, while infrared rays have longer wavelengths.


What is it called when wavelengths are shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays?

Between visible light and X-rays there is ultraviolet light.


Do visible light has the shortest wavelength?

No--ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays are progressively shorter.


How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?

It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
