Are xrays also gamma rays?
No; gamma rays are considered a separate category of radiation, more energetic than x-rays.
Does xrays have a lower frequency?
Compared to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays have a high frequency. Only gamma rays have a higher frequency.
Are xrays electromagnetic in nature?
Yes.
What is the study of xrays?
The study of x-rays is radiology.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
How does radiation helps in X-rays?
Xrays are radiation.
What percents of xrays are produced in a photoelectric effect?
The amount of xrays produced in a photoelectric effect varies. . . . alot.
What are the positive effects of x-rays?
Xrays can be used for diagnosing lots of problems. They are a standard in most hospitals. Radiation is not good no matter what, but the benefits outweigh the risks and the amount of radiation is so small that you get more radiation walking in the sun in summer.

Since xrays, themselves, are a form of radiation, the question makes no sense.
Why xrays dangerous and not radio waves?
Although radio waves, visible light and X-rays are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, x-rays travel with a much higher energy at a very short wavelength and create ionizing radiation. When an x-ray passes through organic matter the denser matter will block some of the radiation and that radiation will be deposited in the matter creating some cell damage.
Is there any type of radiation that can stops xrays?
No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.
Are xrays also gamma rays?
No; gamma rays are considered a separate category of radiation, more energetic than x-rays.
