X-rays are electromagnetic radiations discovered by Rontgen, produced when fast-moving electrons are stopped by matter in X-ray tubes. They have properties such as penetrating matter, affecting photographic emulsions, and can be classified into hard and soft X-rays based on their energy and wavelength. X-rays are widely used in medical imaging and treatment, with their intensity controlled by the heating current and their quality determined by the accelerating potential difference.
