Do gamma rays have more energy than microwaves?

No they do not, they have longer wave lengths, therefore less energy


Do gamma rays have a higher or lower frequency than microwaves?

Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than microwaves, even though microwaves have a longer wavelength than gamma rays.All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light or 186,000 miles per second. So the increase in wavelength(microwaves) means they do not oscillate as fast(lower frequency) in order to reach 186,000 miles per second.


Do radio waves microwaves and waves all have longer wavelengths than visible light?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.


Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelengths than visible lights?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.


What type of electromagnetic wave has a lower frequency than microwaves?

No. Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. The only difference between them is their respective frequencies (wavelengths). Both travel at the speed that we call the "speed of light" . . . 300,000,000 meters (186,282 miles) per second.


Why are microwave ovens safe to use than gamma rays?

Because microwaves make the molecules in the food vibrate and heat up. Gamma rays can cause cancer.


Do microwaves have longer wavelengths than x - rays?

Yes.


Do radio wave microwave and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelengths than visible light?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.


What type of wave has a wave length longer than microwaves?

Gama rays have a longer length than microwaves. the sun exerts Gama rays, but the ozone layer protects earth from them. Gama rays actually quite harmful and can cause cancer.


How does a gamma wave differ from a microwave?

The wavelength is far shorter in gamma rays, and they have a higher frequency, and their photons are much higher in energy than those of microwaves.


Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?

Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
