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.
As a result, the term X-ray is metonymically used to refer to a radiographic image produced using this method, in addition to the method itself. Since the wavelengths of hard X-rays are similar to the size of atoms they are also useful for determining crystal structures by X-ray crystallography.here is no universal consensus for a definition distinguishing between X-rays and gamma rays. One common practice is to distinguish between the two types of radiation based on their source: X-rays are emitted by electrons, while gamma rays are emitted by the atomic nucleus.
