The Chandra observatory using this type of radiation was launched by the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1999, and Elizabeth Fleischman was one of the first scientists to die of prolonged exposure to this type of radiation. The discoverer of this type of radiation used Crookes' tubes containing cathode rays, and took the first picture using this radiation of his wife's hand. This type of radiation typically measures between 0.01 and 10 nanometers, and its wavelength falls between ultraviolet rays and gamma rays. For 10 points, name this type of radiation used in medical imaging.
A) X-rays
B) Infrared radiation
C) Microwaves
D) Radio waves
