Yes, but x-rays can't be focused by lenses, they just pass through the lens. They can only be focused by glancing angle nested cylinder mirrors. X-rays pass through most things.

Optical telescopes are designed to collect and create images from is it white or visible light or x rays or infrared radiation or gamma rays?
An "optical" telescope would naturally collect light from optical wavelengths, meaning visible light from ~400-800nm.
Where to get uv light bulbs?
UV lamp, also called Black-light Lamp, device for producing electromagnetic radiations in the wavelengths between those of visible light and X-rays. The Sun's rays are rich in such radiation, sometimes referred to as black light because it is not visible to the unaided eye.
Can you get a sunburn from light bulbs?
Yeah light bulbs actually have sun rays.
State the difference between optical and non-optical telescopes?
Optical measures visible light, Radio measures electromagnetic radiation in that part of the spectrum corresponding to radio waves. Same with X-ray telescopes and x-rays. Optical is the kind you look through.
Which rays of the sun can in high quantities damage the skin?
UV RAYS!!! The sun is the major natural source of UV Rays. UV Rays are invisable. They are still a form of light rays. UV stands for Ultra Violiet Rays. These (UV) rays cause sunburn and damage the eyes. Overexposure of UV Rays can cause serious skin cancer. UV Rays, however, can have useful effects, too. They can destroy harmful organisms.

Are X-rays visible light?
No, x-rays are not visible light.
Is visible light longer or shorter then rays?
Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.
Which type of rays are visible?
visible light is the only VISIBLE light.
The part of the spectrum that can be separated into rainbow-like colors is?
Visible light rays
What has wavelength that are shorter than visible light?
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
What is the definition of visible light waves?
EM rays which are in the range of visible light.
Are gamma rays light?
Gamma rays, just like (visible) light rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have a much shorter wavelength (and thus more energy) than visible light, which is why they are much more dangerous to human beings (e.g. they may cause cancer).
What color are UV rays?
Colour only applies to visible light. UV rays are not visible.
What is it called when wavelengths are shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays?
Between visible light and X-rays there is ultraviolet light.
Why gamma rays are called electromagnetic rays?
Mainly because they ARE, just like radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-rays are.
Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?
No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-rays.
Why are UV rays invisible?
UV rays are part of electromagnetic spectrum just like light. Some rays can be detected by the eye and some cant. The sunlight we see is the visible part of this spectrum that is why it is called visible light. Initially only light would reach the earth but now because of ozone depletion even UV rays reach the earth. So basically they are invisible because they are not part of visible light.
