* 0.01 to 10 nanometers (nm)
This corresponds to a frequency range of:
* 30 petahertz (PHz) to 30 exahertz (EHz)
However, it's important to note that the boundaries of the X-ray spectrum are not precisely defined and can vary depending on the specific context.
Here's a breakdown of the X-ray spectrum:
* Soft X-rays: Wavelengths range from 1 to 10 nm, corresponding to lower energies and are often used in medical imaging.
* Hard X-rays: Wavelengths range from 0.01 to 1 nm, corresponding to higher energies and are often used in industrial applications and scientific research.
Beyond this range, the electromagnetic spectrum transitions to:
* Gamma rays: Wavelengths shorter than 0.01 nm, corresponding to even higher energies.
* Ultraviolet radiation: Wavelengths longer than 10 nm, corresponding to lower energies.
