What is the difference between X-rays and Visible Light? â¢ X rays are high energy electromagnetic waves, but visible light is medium energy electromagnetic waves. â¢ The visible spectrum is very narrow compared to the X-ray spectrum. â¢ X rays can penetrate the human body but visible light is not capable of doing that.
Our eyes are sensitive to the particular wavelength of visible light, but not to the shorter wavelength of higher energy X-ray waves or the longer wavelength of the lower energy radio waves. Visible light photons and X-ray photons are both produced by the movement of electrons in atoms. Electrons occupy different energy levels, or orbitals, around an atom's nucleus. When an electron drops to a lower orbital, it needs to release some energy -- it releases the extra energy in the form of a photon.
