X-rays have typical wavelength in the range of about
10°® m to 10-3 m (10-4 nm). X rays have a frequency
range of 1016 to 3 x 1019 Hz. X rays are produced with
Coolidge X rays tube by bombarding a metal target by:
high energy electrons. X rays are used as a diagnostic
tool in medicine, for detecting fractions, formation of
stones etc, in human body.
Gamma rays which have shortest wavelengths in
the electromagnetic spectrum (less than 10 pm). are
‘emitted during the decays of many radioactive nuclet
and certain elementary particles. These are used for the
treatment of cancer treatment of cancer and tumors.
