The level significance in XMP bursters and resonators

ingress

I was hoping someone could explain the levels Ingress uses. For example, do L2 XMP bursters only take out L2 resonators, or can they take out L1 resonators as well?

Each level of XMP make the weapon more powerfull.

Each level of Resonator make it more resistant (and increase range of potental links).

Here you can find a table with the power of each level of XMP Burster (source) :

EDIT: Since 18 January 2013 there are some new range values :

Level  Range  Damage
-----  -----  ------
   1     42     150
   2     48     300
   3     58     500
   4     72     900
   5     90    1200
   6    112    1500
   7    138    1800
   8    168    2700
