X-Ray Defined
A class of high energy photon, X-rays have wavelengths of 0.012 to 12 nanometers. Not only are X-rays used for medical imaging (when you break your arm an X-ray machine is used to take a picture of the broken bone), but since black holes, quasars, and other stellar objects emit X-rays, X-Ray Astronomy is actively researched.
This definition is in context to Astronomy. See more contextual defintions for X-Ray.
