What's the difference between the different kinds of EM waves?
I am an A-level student.
We have traditionally been taught that different types of EM waves exist only between certain ranges of wavelengths and frequencies.
However, I learned that electromagnetic ...

What is the wavelength range of X-rays?
I was reading and came across the following paragraph
The X-rays thus produced by many electrons make up the continuous spectrum of Figure 2-10 and are very many discrete photons whose wavelengths ...

Could we see through objects if our eye could detect other wavelengths of light?
We see objects around us because light reflects off the surface and enters our eye. So if our eyes could see a wider range of the spectrum (maybe lower wavelength as they would scatter less) then ...

What's the difference between Hard X-rays and Gamma-rays?
So I'm aware of this and this, but the question is Are Hard X-rays and Gamma-rays the same thing?
If not, then what would be the key difference between them. Moreover, How much would the properties of ...

Is it possible to converting electromagnetic waves to each other?
For example I have a source that emits X-Rays, is it possible to turning them into visible light or micro waves with the same energy as it was xray (I mean, can I change the frequency or the ...

Effect of Change of Potential Difference applied to an X-Ray tube
I am a high school student, so I know only the basics of X-Rays. I simply know about continuous X-rays, cutoff wavelength and threshold wavelength.
Now if I increase the potential applied to the X-ray ...
