X-rays are a type of light ray, but not all light rays are X-rays. X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 10 to 1/100 of a nanometer. Because humans can only see light with a wavelength between 700 and 400 nanometers, it is invisible to us.

X-ray radiation is harmful to humans, as well.

Why gama rays are rays but not waves?

Light "rays" are both waves and particles, that is the nature of light. Thus Gamma Rays is the name for a type of light that is in essence just the same as visible light, radio waves, heat and X rays.


How are x-rays and earthquake waves similar?

They are both transverse waves, albeit having different wavelength and frequency. I think that velocity of the waves will also be different as x-rays travel at the speed of light.

What are different types of light rays?

Some different types of light rays include visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared light, microwaves, radio waves, and X-rays. Each type of ray has different wavelengths and energies, leading to varying effects and applications.


Are radio waves and light waves both electromagnetic waves?

Yes. So are heat waves, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. They're all the same thing, only with different wavelengths.


Rays in electromagnetic spectrum?

The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. These rays have different wavelengths and energies, with gamma rays having the shortest wavelengths and highest energies. Each type of ray is used for different applications ranging from communication (radio waves) to medical imaging (X-rays).
