The shorter the wavelength of the x-ray, the greater its energy and its penetrating power. Longer wavelengths, near the ultraviolet-ray band of the electromagnetic spectrum, are known as soft x -rays. The shorter wavelengths, closer to and overlapping the gamma ray range, are called hard x-rays. The …showed first 75 words of 820 total…
