x-ray

The term 'x-ray' as it applies to the area of space can be defined as 'Light that is so blue humans cannot see it. A band of the spectrum between the ultraviolet and the gamma-ray. Photons of X-ray light are more energetic than photons in the ultraviolet but less energetic than photons in the gamma-ray. X-radiation can go through human skin tissue but is stopped by dense bones. This property thus makes X-rays valuable in medicine. '.

The term 'x-ray' as it applies to the area of Earth observation can be defined as ' Short electromagnetic waves whose wavelengths range from .00001 to 3000 angstroms'.
