Depending upon the penetration power, there are two parts of X-rays

Hard X-rays

More penetration power

More frequency of the order of ≈ 1019 Hz

Lesser wavelength range (0.1Å - 4Å)

 

Soft X-rays

Less penetration power

Less frequency of the order of ≈1016 Hz

More wavelength range (4Å - 100Å)
