This section of the electromagnetic spectrum has a shorter wavelength than (*) ultraviolet light, and lower energy than gamma rays.
An alternative pathway to emission of this kind of radiation is the Auger Effect, which uses the same nomenclature. It can be divided into "hard" and "soft" types, and like a lower-energy kind of radiation, undergoes Compton scattering. This section of the electromagnetic spectrum has a shorter wavelength than (*) ultraviolet light, and lower energy than gamma rays. For 10 points, name this kind of radiation discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen, which is often used in medical imaging.
An alternative pathway to emission of this kind of radiation is the Auger Effect, which uses the same nomenclature.
{X}-{rays} [or {X}-{radiation}; or Roentgen rays before "{Roentgen}"]
