Study Notes
X-Rays and Electromagnetic Spectrum
- Wilhelm Roentgen used the term "X" to represent the unknown nature of X-rays.
Electromagnetic Waves
- Electromagnetic waves are classified into different types based on their frequency and wavelength.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
- X-rays lie in the electromagnetic spectrum between ultraviolet (UV) and gamma rays.
- The electromagnetic spectrum consists of, in order of increasing frequency: radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays.
Electromagnetic Wave Properties
- As an electromagnetic wave oscillates faster, its frequency increases and its wavelength decreases.
