Both visible and x-rays are both electromagnetic waves. X-rays have much greater energy and a much smaller wave length. x-rays can go through objects such as your skin and show what your bones look like. Since cancers are thicker that other tissues they can also show if your problem is a cancer. The sun puts out most of its electromagnetic waves in the visible spectrum. (It puts out some in other parts in other parts of the spectrum, most of which is blocked by the upper atmosphere except in the polar regions.) Our eyes can see the light reflected from objects illuminated by the sun. No objects reflected x-rays before 1895 and no animal's eyes developed to see them. There is a point when the spectrum gets above the point that people can see. Scientists call that Ultra Violet. That light can not go through your skin. Somewhere between that and the x-ray machine in doctor's offices, Scientists created an arbitrary point establishing soft x-rays. Astronomers use those to see through large dust clouds in various places in and between galaxies.
What else can I help you with?
How can yellow light ultraviolet waves and xrays be described?
they are electromagnetic. So they have an electromagnetic spectrum.
Do microwaves have higher frequencies than ultraviolet waves?
No, microwaves have lower frequencies than ultraviolet waves. Microwaves have frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz, while ultraviolet waves have frequencies between 750 THz and 30 PHz.
What is the ascending order of the eight electromagnetic spectrum waves base from their wavelength?
Shortest wavelength is gamma rays. Next longer wavelength is with Xrays. Then Ultraviolet, visible radiations, infra red, microwaves, radio waves with shorter wavelength and radio waves with longer wavelength
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
What is the equation for calculating the phase difference between two waves?
The equation for calculating the phase difference between two waves is: Phase Difference (2 / ) (x) Where: Phase Difference is the difference in phase between the two waves is the wavelength of the waves x is the difference in position between corresponding points on the waves
What is the formula for calculating the phase difference between two waves?
The formula for calculating the phase difference between two waves is: Phase Difference (2 / ) (x) Where: Phase Difference is the difference in phase between the two waves is the wavelength of the waves x is the difference in position between corresponding points on the waves
Are ultraviolet waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
Ultraviolet waves are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum which all travel as transverse waves.
What waves are waves with wavelengths between about 400 mm and 10 nm?
The waves with wavelengths between about 400 mm and 10 nm are referred to as microwaves and ultraviolet rays, respectively. Microwaves have longer wavelengths, while ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths.
What are xrays waves used for?
chelsea say head
What wave has wave lenghts between infrared and ultraviolet waves?
Visible light.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Two other electromagnetic waves besides light are radio waves and microwaves. Radio waves are used for communication, such as in radios and cell phones, while microwaves are commonly used for cooking and in technologies like radar.
Is the visible light spectrum between radar waves and xrays?
No, the visible light spectrum falls between infrared and ultraviolet light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar waves have longer wavelengths than visible light, while X-rays have shorter wavelengths.
