I just noticed that we tend to call EM wavelengths shorter than visible light "rays" while we call we call those that are longer "waves". Why is that? Did we ever think that "rays" and "waves" were physically different?
An X-wave, also known as an X-shaped wave, is a type of electromagnetic wave that has a distinct shape resembling the letter X. It is a relatively new discovery in the field of physics and is still being studied.
An X-wave differs from other types of electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves and light waves, in its shape and properties. It has a more complex structure and behaves differently when interacting with matter.
X-waves have potential applications in various fields, including telecommunications, medical imaging, and radar technology. They have the ability to penetrate through objects and carry more information than traditional electromagnetic waves.
A radio ray is another name for a radio wave, which is a type of electromagnetic wave that is used for communication and broadcasting. It has a longer wavelength and lower frequency than other types of electromagnetic waves.
Radio rays are used in a variety of ways in our daily lives, such as for listening to the radio, watching television, and using cell phones. They are also used in medical equipment, satellite communication, and navigation systems.
