Because that term is the name we have given to electromagnetic radiation with
the highest observed frequency. If they had lower frequency, then we would call
them by another name. And if they're called by that name, then they must be rays
of the highest observed frequency, all because that is how we have defined them.
Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,and gamma rays.
Yes, the intensity of X-rays and gamma rays can differ. Gamma rays typically have higher frequencies and energies than X-rays, so they can be more penetrating and have a higher intensity. However, the actual intensity of these radiation types depends on factors such as the source strength and distance from the source.
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas X-rays have a lower frequency than gamma rays.
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
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.

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.
they are electromagnetic. So they have an electromagnetic spectrum.
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.
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
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.
Compared to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays have a high frequency. Only gamma rays have a higher frequency.

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.
No, the Sun mostly emits visible light rays. A small amount of gamma rays might be emitted, but they would be insignificant. Inside the Sun, gamma rays are produced but they never escape in that form. The super-heated gases around the sun in the chromosphere emit mostly higher energy xrays, UV rays but also some gamma rays. Natural gamma rays sources are thought to be the most energetic events in the Universe. Although Supernovae seem to be the source of some, others are still somewhat mysterious.
