I WONDER - What Is An X-Ray?

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths and higher energy than light. They can penetrate solid objects, such as the human body, to create detailed images of internal structures. X-ray machines, known as X-ray generators, produce these rays using high-energy electrons.
