Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-Rays, Gamma Rays etc. are all Electromagnetic radiation, just at different frequencies.
In physics, radiation is any process by which energy travels from one body to another.
When most people hear radiation they think of ionising radiation, which is a radiation that is strong enough to ionize atoms.
X-Rays are both Electromagnetic radiation and ionising radiation, because of the later it is a health hazard.

What else can I help you with?
IS An example of a carcinogen xrays?
whats the difference between carcinogenes and mutagens
The connection between pulsars and neutron stars is explained by what model?
The connection between pulsars and neutron stars is explained by the generally accepted model that pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation from their magnetic poles, causing periodic signals to be observed when the beams cross our line of sight. This emission of radiation is what gives rise to the pulsed nature of pulsar signals.
Is there a connection between the speed of alpha beta and gamma radiation?
None whatsoever -- these three phenomena have almost nothing in common beyond (1) they all might come from radioactive material and (2) scientists of about 100 years knew so little about them that they simply named them the first three letters of the greek alphabet.
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.
What are any connection between the mass of a planet and the number of moons it has?
no connection between those 2things
How does radiation helps in X-rays?
Xrays are radiation.
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.
Who works with xrays radiation nuclear medicine and ultasound?
Radiologists work with these.
What type of electromagnetic radiation is used in airport security screening?
XRAYS
What is the difference in Umbra and Penumbra in Xrays?
Penumbra is the excess fog from scatter radiation
Is the dose of radiation more or less than an xray?
Since xrays, themselves, are a form of radiation, the question makes no sense.
When matter is irradiated by xrays what type of radiation is produced?
When matter is irradiated by X-rays, it can produce secondary radiation such as Compton scattering, photoelectric effect, or pair production. These processes involve interaction between the X-rays and the atoms in the material, leading to the emission of secondary radiation.
Is there any type of radiation that can stops xrays?
No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.
Is there a connection between the speed of alpha beta and gamma radiation which?
beta equal to 2alpha and gamma equal to 3alpha
Which type of radiation is used to make images of bones inside the body?
Xrays and CT scans
Is radiation the cause for agent orange?
No , radiation and Agent Orange have no connection
IS An example of a carcinogen xrays?
