\nX-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. This means they are waves composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space.
\n<\/section>\n
\nElectromagnetic waves are not deflected by static electric or magnetic fields because they carry no net electric charge. They travel at the speed of light in a vacuum and are transverse waves (the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of propagation).
\n<\/section>\n
\nOther examples of electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infra-red radiation, visible light, ultra-violet radiation, and gamma rays. Longitudinal waves, like sound waves, require a medium to travel and the oscillations are parallel to the direction of propagation.
