[QUOTE="Ibix, post: 6405498, member: 365269"] The last time this got asked I discovered that some sources regard gamma rays as "anything produced from the nucleus" and x rays as "anything produced from the electrons beyond UV", while some sources do as [USER=260864]@vanhees71[/USER] says and label anything above a certain frequency as gamma rays. I think the latter is more common, especially as we now understand clearly that it's all just EM and the source doesn't really make a difference. I'd presume whatever source you are reading about Bremsstrahlung is using that definition too. Either way, it's just a label. It's all photons. [/QUOTE]
