who is discovered x ray
X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3Ã1016 Hz to 3Ã1019 Hz) and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV. X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of gamma rays. In many languages, X-radiation is referred to with terms meaning RÃ¶ntgen radiation, after the German scientist Wilhelm RÃ¶ntgen, who usually is credited as its discoverer, and who had named it X-radiation to signify an unknown type of radiation.
