X-rays are a form of electro-magnetic radiation.
Alpha "rays" consist of helium nuclei expelled from large nuclei during a process called (no surprise) alpha decay.

Which is not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum - UV rays or Alpha rays or Visible light or Infrared rays?
Alpha rays are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha particles are the same as helium nuclei, and are given off in nuclear decay.
What is the difference between Alpha rays and beta rays?
Alpha rays are helium nuclei, two protons and two neutrons, an atomic mass number of 4, and a charge of +2. Beta rays are electrons or, in some cases, positrons, an atomic mass number of 1 / 1854, and a charge of -1, or +1 for the positron.
What are the 4 radioactive rays produced?
You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.
What sort of path will the alpha and beta radiation follow?
alpha rays follow north pole of magnet and beta rays south pole.
Can ultrasound waves are alpha beta or gamma rays?
No, they are unrelated. Alpha and beta radiation are particle streams, not waves. And gamma rays are electromagnetic waves.
What are the similarities and differences between Xrays and gamma rays?
What are the differences between x-rays and gamma rays?
What are some mutagen examples?
Most common mutagens:Ionizing radiation such as xrays, gamma rays and alpha particlesUltraviolet (tanning beds)Intercalating agentsBenzeneChemical spills
Do airports have xrays?
Most of them do have X-rays.
What is xrays real name?
the real name of x-rays is roentgen rays.
How does radiation helps in X-rays?
Xrays are radiation.
What is the study of xrays?
The study of x-rays is radiology.
Differences between the four main types of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma rays and neutron emission?
There are only three types of nuclear radiation - Alpha, Beta & Gamma.
What are some examples of mutagens?
Most common mutagens:Ionizing radiation such as xrays, gamma rays and alpha particlesUltraviolet (tanning beds)Intercalating agentsBenzeneChemical spills
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
What are the particles called from a nuclear decay?
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Are xrays also gamma rays?
No; gamma rays are considered a separate category of radiation, more energetic than x-rays.
Can gamma rays and xrays pass through the human body?
Yes.
