Symptoms often come on quite abruptly and commonly include: 1  A high fever (often with shaking, chills, or sweats). 2  Pain in your lower back or side just under your ribs, on one or both sides, and possibly in your abdomen. 3  Nausea and vomiting.
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.
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is very familiar to us. However, there are several other forms of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, such as X-rays, radio waves, and ultraviolet and infrared light. Together, these different types of EM radiation make up the electromagnetic spectrum. Each section of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum has characteristic energy levels, wavelengths, and frequencies associated with its photons. Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies. Radio waves, on the other hand, have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation. In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Microwaves (like the ones used in microwave ovens) are a subsection of the radio wave section of the EM spectrum.
