They definitely do exist.
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation (like visible light, radio waves, microwaves, etc) with a wavelength of 10 - 0.01 nanometers, or about 100 times shorter than visible light on average. X-rays can be generated by machines used in medicine, and are also part of background radiation in the cosmos. Over exposure can be very dangerous; many governments set limits on the amount of x-rays that an individual can safety be exposed to in a given time period.
Happy Science : )
Do you say an X-ray or do you say a X-ray?
an X-ray
similarly to the way you would say "an hour" even though the first letter is a consonant

Xray speed in a vacum is equal to the spped of visible light, 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 km per second. Outside of a vacum, x-ray waves are subject to various factors that change speed.
In order of increasing energies: # radio waves, passes through ozone. # microwaves, passes through ozone, but there are some resonances in "spinning" the molecule at a few tens of frequencies. # infrared, ozone absorbs some infrared... it is a molecule with more than two atoms. # visible light, very little interaction with all but blue. # ultraviolet light, UV-A passes through, UV-B and UV-C are absorbed. # X-rays, absorbed. # gamma rays, absorbed. Now it is important how much ozone is available along any given path for absorbing the radiation. Gases are very sparse, so "completely absorbed" doesn't happen. In addition, UV-C and more energetic are absorbed by all gases in our atmosphere. Ozone is unique in absorbing UV-B, and shares absorbing infrared with things like methane and water vapor.
