GROUP 5

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light, radio
waves, and microwaves. However, they have much higher energy and shorter
wavelengths than visible light.

In terms of wavelength, X-rays have a range of approximately 0.01 to 10

nanometers (nm). To give you some perspective, visible light wavelengths
range from about 400 to 700 nm. So, X-rays have much shorter wavelengths
than visible light.

Frequency is a measure of how many wave cycles occur in a given time

period. X-rays have a higher frequency than visible light because they have
shorter wavelengths. The frequency of X-rays typically ranges from 10^16 to
10^19 hertz (Hz), whereas visible light frequencies range from about 10^14 to
10^15 Hz.

Energy is directly related to both wavelength and frequency. The energy of X-

rays is much higher than that of visible light due to their shorter wavelengths
and higher frequencies. X-rays have energies ranging from about 100 electron
volts (eV) to several million electron volts (MeV). In comparison, visible light
photons typically have energies between 1.65 and 3.1 eV.

It's important to note that the energy of X-rays makes them useful in various
applications, such as medical imaging, material analysis, and industrial
inspections. However, due to their high energy, X-rays can also be potentially
harmful to living organisms, which is why protective measures are taken
during X-ray procedures.
