If X-Rays have a wavelength around 10-10m and given that the speed of light is constant then by using the equation v=fλ or c=fλ in this case, you can calculate the frequency of X-Rays as follows:
f=c/λ
f= 2.98 x 108/ 1 x 10-10
=3 x 1018 Hz

The frequency and wavelength of all waves are?
inversely related
What is wavelength nm?
Wavelength is the distance between repeating units of a propagating wave of a given frequency. For light waves, this value is often given in nanometers, abbreviated as "nm". A nanometer is 0.000000001 meters.
What happens to the speed of the waves if the frequency of the wave source is halved?
The wavelength of a wave would double if the frequency was cut in half. Wavelength=c/frequency where c equals the speed of light.
Electromagnetic waves vary in?
Electromagnetic waves vary in wavelength, Energy and frequency E = hf = hc/w.
What does it mean for something to have wavelike properties?
Waves are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and speed. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. The frequency is defined as the number of waves (cycles) per second that pass a given space. Since all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light, short-wavelength radiation must have a high frequency and long-wavelength radiation must have a low frequency.
How do the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum differ?
In the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation the wave property that changes is the frequency. So for example xrays have higher frequency then blue light which has higher frequency then red light which has higher frequency then radio waves etc.
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
Electromagnetic waves differ only in their what their energy and their frequency?
wavelength,frequency, and speed
If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produced change?
The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
How would the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed change if the frequency of the waves increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
How wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the Waves increases?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
How the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.

How do frequency wavelength and amplitude measure waves?
Amplitude defines how powerful waves are. Frequency and wavelength are measures of how often the wave fluctuates or far the wave is from crest to crest , These are related and can be calculated from each other if you know how fast the waves travel.
When working with waves frequency x equals speed?
When working with waves ... or even just talking about them ... (frequency) = (speed) divided by (wavelength) (wavelength) = (speed) divided by (frequency) (frequency) times (wavelength) = (speed)
