photon energies above 5-10 keV (below 0.2-0.1 nm wavelength) are called hard X-rays‚ while those with lower energy are called soft X-rays.Due to their penetrating ability hard X-rays are widely used to image the inside of objects‚ e.g. in medical radiography and airport security. As a result‚ the term X-ray is metonymically used to refer to a radiographic image produced using this method‚ in addition to the method itself. Since the wavelengths of hard X-rays are similar to the size of atoms they are
