Detailed answer :

In electromagnetic spectrum, there is no sharp boundary of frequency among X-rays/Gamma rays as frequency range of X-rays is 1020 Hz1016 Hz where as Gamma rays frequency ranges from 1022 Hz1019 Hz, so waves with frequency 5× 1019 Hz belongs to both X rays/Gamma rays of electromagnetic spectrum.
