It is the high frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is considered ionizing.
Ionizing radiation has enough energy to displace
electrons from an atom's orbit, leaving the atom
charged. The electromagnetic radiations with
enough energy to be ionizing are x and gamma
radiations. If the ionized atoms or molecules are
within living systems, there is the potential for
biological harm. X-ray wavelengths are used in
diagnostic radiology and range from approximately
0.1 to 0.5 Angstroms. This is the reason for the
paradox that X-rays can cause cancer, can be used
to help in the diagnosis of disease, and in high
doses can be used to destroy cancer cells.
Ionizing Radiation:
Risk and Benefit
X radiation is a form of energy that was discovered
by the German physicist, Wilhelm Conrad
Roentgen in 1895. Like visible light, radiowaves,
and microwaves, X-rays belong to a group of
radiations known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
Electromagnetic radiations are comprised of units
of pure energy called photons, or quanta, that have
no mass or weight. This is quite different from
corpuscular, or particular, radiations that are
comprised of measurable subatomic particles.
These subatomic particles include the alpha
particle, or helium radical; the beta particle, or
electron; as well as protons and neutrons.
