What is the frequency of X-rays?

The frequency of X-rays is in the range of 3 × 10^16 to 3 × 10^19 Hz. X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light, but with much shorter wavelengths. The wavelength of X-rays ranges from 0.01 to 10 nanometers. Due to their high frequency and short wavelength, X-rays have higher energy than most other types of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light and microwaves. X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging, security screening, and scientific research.
