Photon Energy
The energy of a photon is direct proportional to its frequency.
E = h * v
E = Energy (J joule)
h = Planck's constant, 6.626 x 10-34 J-s (Joule-seconds)
v = Frequency (Hz)
This relation between energy and frequency of a photon is known as Planck's relation.

See also Photon.
System International
The international system for units.
Le Systeme international d'Unites officially came into being in October 1960 and has been adopted by nearly all countries, though the amount of actual usage varies considerably.
It is based upon 7 principal units:
Length
meter(m)
Mass
kilogram (kg)
Time
second(s)
Electric current
ampere(A)
Temperature
kelvin(K)
Amount of substance Â
mole(mol)
Luminous intensity
candela(cd)

From these basic units many other units are derived and named.
Watt
(W) The SI unit of power.
Definition: 1 watt is equal to a power rate of one joule of work per second of time or in electrical terms it is the power produced by a current of one ampere flowing through an electric potential of one volt.
Power is the rate at which work is done, or the rate at which energy is expended and is used both in mechanics and in electricity.
The unit is named for James Watt, a British engineer.
X-Ray Spectrum
The x-ray (or roentgen-ray) spectrum consists of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet (UV) and longer than gamma rays. The usual photon energies of x-rays range from 100 electron volt (eV) to 100 keV (wavelengths of around 10 to 0.01 nanometers; or around 100 to 0.1 Angstroms); corresponding to frequencies in the range of 30 PHz to 30 EHz (see Hertz).
The energy distribution (wavelength, frequency) of x-ray photons emerges from the source, the x-ray tube. In a conventional tube, x-rays are generated in two different ways that, together, form a typical spectrum consisting of the bremsstrahlung, which is superimposed by the lines of the characteristic spectrum (in a graph, the curve is shaped like a hump topped by several spikes).
