6. X-rays
   X-rays are electromagnetic radiation of shorter wavelength than ultraviolet radiation (10-11 m to 10-9 m or 0.01 nm to 1 nm) produced by bombardment of atoms by high-quantum-energy particles. X-rays can pass through many forms of matter and they are therefore used medically and industrially to examine internal structure.

8. X-rays
   Penetrating electromagnetic radiation emitted when the inner orbital electrons of an atom are excited and release energy - in the same energy range as gamma rays (0.010-10 mev), but of non-nuclear origin, of shorter wavelength than ultraviolet; soft X-rays or grenz rays are less penetrating and long...

9. x-rays
   (eks´rāz) high-energy electromagnetic radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a metal target in an x-ray tube; the penetrability and hardness of the x-rays increase with the voltage applied to the tube, which controls the speed with which the electrons strike the target.

11. X-rays
    X-rays are electromagnetic waves (photons of light) emitted by energy changes of . These energy changes are either in the electron orbital shells that surround an atom or are due to the slowing down (i.e., interaction) of electrons in matter, such as a "target" in an x-ray machine.
