5. X ray
   X ray, invisible, highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation of much shorter wavelength (higher frequency) than visible light. The wavelength range for X rays is from about 10-8 m to about 10-11 m, or from less than a billionth of an inch to less than a trillionth of an inch; the corresponding fre...

8. X-ray
   Light that is so blue humans cannot see it. A band of the spectrum between the ultraviolet and the gamma-ray. Photons of X-ray light are more energetic than photons in the ultraviolet but less energetic than photons in the gamma-ray. X-radiation can go through human skin tissue but is stopped by den...

9. X-ray
   A type of radiation of higher frequency (or energy) that visible light but lower that gamma rays. Usually produced by fast electrons going through matter or by the de-excitation of excited atoms. In our diagrams, a x-ray is represented by this:

12. X-ray
    The part of the electromagnetic spectrum whose radiation has somewhat greater frequencies and smaller wavelengths than those of ultraviolet radiation. Because x-rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, x-ray astronomy is performed in space.
