The Advantages of X-Rays
X-rays have super high frequencies, very different from the frequencies at which atoms are vibrating. So there's very little interaction. Atoms tend to have these natural frequencies they vibrate at. And it so happens that those natural frequenciesthey vibrate at are comparable to the frequencies of visible light. But x-ray is so high energy. It just for the most part doesn't interact with anything in your body and it just goes straight through because it's got so much energy."
