X-Ray Research Starter
X-ray radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 0.1 and 10 nanometers. It falls between gamma rays (shorter wavelength, more energy) and ultraviolet rays (longer wavelength, less energy) on the electromagnetic spectrum and occurs naturally on earth and in space, useful in physics and medicine.
