Depends what you consider 'high'.
The frequency of X-rays is higher than the frequency of radio, light, Middle-C, and
a subscription to Scientific American, but lower than the frequency of some other
types of electromagnetic radiation.
As you move from left to right across the electromagnetic spectrum, the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases, and the energy of the electromagnetic waves increases. This means that on the left side, you have low-frequency, long-wavelength, low-energy waves like radio waves, while on the right side, you have high-frequency, short-wavelength, high-energy waves like gamma rays.
The energy of an X-ray with an 8 nm wavelength can be calculated using the equation E = h*c/λ, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength. Plugging in the values and converting units, the energy is approximately 155 eV.
There is no antonym. An xray is a wavelength. There is no opposite.
It depends on the energy of the xray....
A high-energy x-ray spectrometer is a scientific instrument that is used to study the high-energy x-rays emitted by materials. It can provide information about the elemental composition and structure of the material being analyzed. These spectrometers are commonly used in research settings, such as in materials science and physics.
A microwave has a higher wavelength than an X-ray. Microwaves typically have wavelengths in the range of centimeters to millimeters, while X-rays have wavelengths in the range of picometers to nanometers.

X-ray. The energy of a light photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength. (so as the wavelength shortens, the energy goes up.) X-rays have the shortest wavelengths of the types of light you mentioned. In order of energy highest to lowest, the lights you mentioned would be: x-ray, ultraviolet, blue, microwave.
The electron loses energy in order to go from an "excited" shell back to its "original" shell. This releases energy in the form of a photon - an xray.
