The X-Ray has more energy than the radio waves, E=hf. The f in X rays is billion times higher than radio waves. Thus X-Rays are a billion times more energy.Roughly damage can be caused around f=E15 hertz, UV Rays. Radio waves are around f=E12 and X-Rays around f=E18. Radio waves are 1/1000 of the danger level and X-Rays are 1000 times the danger level.
