X-rays:
frequency: high
wavelength: short
energy: high

If your teacher wants that quantified:

frequency: 3*10^16 to 3*10^19 Hz
wavelength: 10^-8 to 10^-11 m
energy: 124 to 124000 eV / photon

X-rays frequency and energy is larger than the visible spectrum of light (roygbiv) but the wave length is smaller.
Because all light travels at 3x10^8 m/s (i think) the speed of all light sources would be the same... the stuff that would vary would be frequency and wavelength, the smaller the wavelength the higher the frequency and the more energy transmitted
