Visible light and X-rays are examples of electromagnetic radiation. They are the same exact physical phenomenon, with all the same characteristics and properties, and they differ only in their wavelength (frequency).

What is the electro-magetic spectrum?
gamma rays, xrays, uv light, visible light, infra red, microwaves, radio waves
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?
They can detect radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays.
Are X-rays visible light?
No, x-rays are not visible light.
Which waves have shorter wavelengths radio waves or xrays?
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio, heat, infra-red, visible light, and ultra-violet.
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.
Which type of rays are visible?
visible light is the only VISIBLE light.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
Is the velocity of X-rays constant?
Yes, all xrays travel at the speed of light.
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.
What is the definition of visible light waves?
EM rays which are in the range of visible light.
What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
