X-ray waves are also used to help sterilize and alter food packaging. The waves kill bacteria and viruses. The DNA and RNA of the food packaging is changed by the radioactivity, preventing them from reproducing the bacteria. Because x-ray waves use electrons and not neutrons, they products are still safe to use.

When your bag is being checked at the airport, it is going through an x-ray machine similar to the one used to scan buildings. It is a non-invasive way for the security officers to check what you are bringing with you on your travels, and if it is safe or not.

X-rays waves can be sent through buildings or other structures so that we can see places that may be hard to see.  The machine used is similar to the one used in medicine, but it is much more powerful. This process can be used to spot defects or abormalities in buildings, helping prove if they are safe or not.

Doctors use many different waves, including x-rays, CT, and PET,  in order to create an image that will help doctors find problems. These waves not only help identify the problem, they also help treat it in some cases involving cancer or other illnesses.

These two types of waves are useually determined by the source which they come from. X-rays come from the elctrons in the atom while the gamma ray comes from the nucleus.

Hard X-rays -
Hard x-rays wavelengths are lower than 0.2-0.1 nm.
Soft X-rays -
Soft x-rays have wavelengths between 10-0.1 nm.

Radiation graphs show us problems that we can not see with the naked eye. X-rays are also used to kill all different types of cancer cells during radiation therapy

The waves have a very high energy level called ionizing radiation. This can  cause radiation sickness or radiation-induced forms of cancer.

X-ray waves were supposedly discovered by a scientist named Wilhelm Roentgen.

The frequency of an x-ray wave ranges from 3x10^16 to 3x10^19 Hz.

The wavelengths of an x-ray wave range from 0.01 to 10 nanometers.

X-rays have a higher frequency than ultraviolet rays and a lower frequency than gamma rays.
