- X rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelength ranging from 0.1 - 1 Å.
- X rays travel in straight lines.
- X rays are produced when high energy electrons are stopped by metal barriers.
- X rays are absorbed more readily by heavy elements than light elements.
- X rays affect photographic plates.
- X rays cause fluorescence.
- X rays are not affected by electric or magnetic fields.
- X ray Spectrum consists of line spectrum superimposed on a continuous spectrum.
- X rays interact with materials and cause ionization.
- X rays are diffracted by atomic or molecular arrangement in crystals.
