At frequencies equal to or lower than visible light you also see the term “waves” being used.
The higher the frequency, the less likely you will see anything other than the term “ray” being used, and the lower the frequency the more likely you will see the term “wave” being used, as for example high frequency x-rays and low frequency radio waves.
A “ray” is the “path of the photon” or the “direction of the wave”.In general, the lower the frequency of the photons that are “created”, the less “directional” they will be, and the higher the frequency, the more “directional” they will be.At the highest frequencies, there is little distinction between a “high energy charged particle”, e.g. an electron linearly accelerated in a vacuum, and the photons that it creates, other than that the “charged particle” has mass, and the photons do not.This is because Planck’s equation tells us that the higher the frequency of the photon, the greater the energy of the photon
