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.
What else can I help you with?
Which x rays are best used to penetrate the body?
Primary rays are the best to penetrate Low wavelength
How does energy relate to?
Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength: the shorter the wavelength (X-rays, gamma rays) the greater the energy.
What has shortest wavelength?
X-rays and Gamma rays. Radio Waves have the longest.
What is softness as applied to X-ray?
X-rays from about 0.12 to 12 keV (10 to 0.10 nm wavelength) are classified as "soft" X-rays, and from about 12 to 120 keV (0.10 to 0.01 nm wavelength) as "hard" X-rays, due to their penetrating abilities.
What are the most penetrating?
The most penetrating X-rays are the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) X-rays. They are the most energetic, and we sometimes refer to them as hard X-rays.
Do visible light has the shortest wavelength?
No--ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays are progressively shorter.
List the eletromagnetic spectrum in order from longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength?
radiowaves, microwaves, infra-red, visible, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays
Are gamma rays shorter or longer then x-rays?
Gamma rays have shorter wavelength than X-rays. Some times X rays might have shorter wavelength than that of gamma rays. Why so? The main reason is that we assign name to the electromagnetic radiations just based on the method of production. X-rays are produced by stopping the fast moving electrons But gamma rays come out the nuclear reaction.
What is the wavelength of an xray?
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.
What account for the differences between radio waves X-rays and gamma rays?
The difference is their position on the electromagnetic spectrum.radio waves are on the low frequency / long wavelength end of the spectrum. X - rays and Gamma rays are on the high frequency / short wavelength end.The only difference between x-rays and gamma rays is how they're generated. Gamma rays are created by radioactive decay and/or nuclear reactions; whereas x-rays are generated by high-velocity electrons colliding with matter.ANSWER IT PLEASEWhich of the following account for the differences between radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays?Check all that apply.A.AmplitudeB.SpeedC.FrequencyD.WavelengthThe answer is wavelength and frequency (apex)R1CO95- Wavelength and Frequency. ^_^
What is the difference between Infrared and X rays?
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
What waves has a shorter wavelength than visible light waves?
UV, x-rays, gamma rays.
