    ...agreement between experiment and theory had to await the development of quantum mechanics. Wavelengths for X rays range from about 0.1 to 200 angstroms, with the range 20 to 200 angstroms known as soft X rays.

    ...the radiation) is more than 10 orders of magnitude higher than the most powerful rotating anode X-ray machines. The synchrotron sources can also be optimized for the vacuum-ultraviolet portion, the soft (low-energy) X-ray portion (between 20 and 200 angstroms), or the hard (high-energy) X-ray portion (1–20 angstroms) of the electromagnetic spectrum.
