Aloha X-ray Friday
An X-ray (also known in many languages as Röntgen radiation) is a
form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength
shorter than those of ultraviolet rays and longer than those of
gamma rays. X-rays were discovered in 1895 by the German scientist
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, who named it X-radiation to signify an
unknown type of radiation. X-rays can penetrate many solid
substances such as construction materials and living tissue,[4] so
X-ray radiography is widely used in medical diagnostics (e.g.,
checking for broken bones) and material science. (Wikipedia)
