1. x ray

   An X-ray, or, much less commonly, X-radiation, is a penetrating form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 10 picometers to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz) and energies in the range 145 eV to 124 keV. X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of gamma rays. In many languages, X-radiation is referred to as Röntgen radiation, after the German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, who discovered it on November 8, 1895. He named it X-radiation to signify an unknown type of radiation. Spellings of X-ray(s) in English include the variants x-ray(s), xray(s), and X ray(s). The most familiar use of X-rays is checking for fractures (broken bones), but X-rays are also used in other ways. For example, chest X-rays can spot pneumonia. Mammograms use X-rays to look for breast cancer.

1. x ray

   An X-ray is a type of electromagnetic radiation or wave, similar to visible light but with a much shorter wavelength. This radiation is used in various domains of medicine and industry to capture images of the internal structure of objects or the body, as it has the ability to pass through many materials that light cannot. In medical procedures, it helps to detect abnormalities such as fractures, infections, cancer etc., by producing a photographic or digital image of the internal composition.
