I am assuming that you are referencing X-rays as the actual X-Ray Machine, in which case the Radio. There have been X-Ray like devices but more like using light and a reflector, and radios can be simple metal coils that act as receivers.

TELEGRAPH came first In 1832 invented by Samuel Morse while RADIO It first became a possibility when the English physicist Michael Faraday demonstrated in 1831 that an electrical current could produce a magnetic field. In 1864, James C. Maxwell, a professor of experimental physics at Cambridge, proved mathematically that electrical disturbances could be detected at considerable distances. In 1888, a German, Heinrich Hertz, demonstrated that Maxwell's prediction was true for transmissions over short distances. The Italian physicist Guglielmo Marconi then perfected a radio system that in 1901transmitted Morse Code over the Atlantic Ocean from England to Newfoundland.
