Answer 2

The X-ray unit (symbol xu) is a unit of length approximately equal to 0.1 pm or    ($10^{-13}$m).

Explanation:

It is used to describe the wavelength of X-rays and gamma rays.

Definition of wavelength

• The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive waves' corresponding locations.
• Two points or particles in the same phase—that is, points that have completed similar fractions of their periodic motion—are referred to as "corresponding points."

Definition of gamma wave

• Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and the highest energy levels of any electromagnetic wave.
• They are created by the universe's hottest and most energetic objects, such as neutron stars and pulsars, supernova explosions, and black hole regions.

Definition of X-rays

• X-rays, like radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and gamma rays, are a kind of electromagnetic radiation.
• X-ray photons have a lot of energy and can break up molecules, causing damage to living cells.
