No, they are not. X-rays have a higher energy than UV radiation, and they have the potential to do more damage to tissue.

Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?

Telescopes on Earth can detect a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. Different telescopes are designed to detect specific wavelengths within this range, allowing astronomers to study various objects in the universe.


Is thr part of the EM spectrum that consists of waves with frequencies higher than those of visible light and lower than those of xrays?

Yes, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves with frequencies higher than those of visible light and lower than those of X-rays is known as ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation is commonly found in sunlight and is responsible for causing effects such as sunburn and skin damage.


How long are X-ray wavelengths compared with ultraviolet wavelengths?

Ultraviolet photons have wavelengths below 400nm. X-ray photons have wavelengths between 0.01nm - 10nm. Photons with wavelengths smaller than xrays' are called gamma rays.


Will lead block xrays?

Yes, lead can effectively block X-rays and other forms of ionizing radiation due to its high density and ability to absorb and scatter radiation. Lead shielding is commonly used in medical settings, such as X-ray rooms, to protect staff and patients from exposure.


Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?

No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.

What is a photographic image produced by the action of xrays or nuclear radiation?

A photographic image produced by the action of xrays or nuclear radiation is called a radiograph.


How can yellow light ultraviolet waves and xrays be described?

they are electromagnetic. So they have an electromagnetic spectrum.


Field which studies EMR including visible light xRays gamma rays and ultraviolet?

Radiometrythe science of quantifying the phenomena of electromagnetic radiation. In our context, we are interested in light, the limited range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, sometimes extended to the areas of infrared and ultraviolet. We also don't care about the quantum mechanical aspects of radiation. It will be enough to measure the physiologicallyperceiveable effects. For that purpose, we will often resort to the related field of photometry.


How are xrays used?

because it enables you to see if you have a broken bone or not. however, it is dangerous as its bad for you, as the radiation waves get passed through your body and damage your insides! :) x

Is the dose of radiation more or less than an xray?

Since xrays, themselves, are a form of radiation, the question makes no sense.


How old do you have to be to have an X-ray?

yes, pretty much any one can get xrays. some people babies should not though because they may be at risk from the radiation. you should not get to many xrays because it could be a risk to your health.


Does Ultraviolet have shorter wavelength than xrays?

No, X-rays have shorter wavelength than ultraviolet light. X-rays have wavelengths in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has wavelengths in the range of 10 to 400 nanometers.
