In general, X-rays have a wavelength of between 10 and 0.01 nanometers. That's between 10-8 and 10-11 meters. Remember that a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency, and, therefore, higher energy.
The frequency range of X-rays is 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (30 x 1015 Hz to 30 x 1018 Hz) and they have energies in the 120 eV to 120 keV range. (An eV is an electron volt.)
Note that X-rays are of shorter wavelength than visible light, but not as short as gamma rays.

∙ 13y agoX-rays have a wavelength anywhere from 10 nm down to 0.01 nm.
Between 10 nm and 0.1 nm, they're called "soft" x-rays; below 0.1 nm, they're called "hard" x-rays. The x-rays used for medical diagnostic imaging are "hard" x-rays.

What is the antonym for xray?
There is no antonym. An xray is a wavelength. There is no opposite.
Does the intensity of Xrays and gamma rays differ?
Intensity is independent of frequency or wavelength. So whether it is Xray or gamma ray both can have the same intensity.
Why are the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum put in that order?
infrared, ROY G BIV, ultraviolet, xray, gamma ray, cosmic ray That's the order they fall in when you sort them by frequency or wavelength.
How do you make a dental xray more darker?
when taking a dental xray how do u make it appear on the xray more darker in color?
Explain the effects on frequency wavelength and energy as you move across the spectrum?
E=hv where E=energy v=frequency v=Planck's constant as you move further towards the xray side, frequency and energy increase.
What is Shadow over heart in xray?
had a chest xray, there was a shadow over my heart what is it
What is the best online store to buy the XRAY M18T PRO?
You should check out RC XRAY. They are an online dealer who only sells XRAY RC cars and parts through their store. This includes the XRAY M18T PRO.
Is xray allowed in scrabble?
No. Neither X-Ray nor xray are allowed in Scrabble.
Why does x rays light get farther into your bodies than ultraviolet?
Xrays have smaller wavelengths, and can only been seen from the shadows it makes on xray paper. X-rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet, thus making them smaller photons, hard x-radiation has a wavelength around .01 nanometers and ultraviolet has a wavelength around 10 nanometers at the shortest wavelength. This means it is easier for the smaller x-rays to penetrate the human body than ultraviolet wavelengths. 1000 nanometers = 1 micron, 1000000 microns = 1 millimeter
When was XRAY Model Racing Cars created?
XRAY Model Racing Cars was created in 2000.
Is xray a word?
Yes, XRAY is a company. If you are referring to the electromagnetic radiation, x-ray what you mean.
What is a xray techinician?
An xray technician is commonly referred to as a radtech or radiation technician in a medical setting.
