I was curious if magnetrons are "limited" to microwaves, or a specific "bandwidth " or would they allow for higher frequencys such as xrays, etc?
For perspective, 10^-8 cm is 1 Angstrom, or, roughly, the diameter of a hydrogen atom in its ground state.Xrays have a frequency of 10^16 to 10^20 Hz with a corresponding wavelength of 10^-6 to 10^-10 cm, which is obviously far too small to make a magnetron.
