Can radio waves be produced with a higher frequency than gamma rays?
Sheon
No, radio waves are less energetic than gamma rays. This is so because gamma rays have a higher frequency causing the waves to be closer together.
However both radio and gamma waves are a form of light (electromagnetic radiation).

In practice, we don't know how to generate gamma rays. Also, they're heavily absorbed by air,
so they don't get very far. Furthermore, efficient gamma ray detectors cost hundreds of thousands
of dollars, they're not sold at Best Buy, and very few people own them.
Considering all of these draw-backs, it would be very difficult to sell commercial time for broadcast
on a gamma ray station, which is probably why none have been constructed yet.

Electromagnetic waves are defined by their frequency. A radio wave, by definition, is a low-frequency wave, and a gamma ray is, by definition, a high-frequency wave.

Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
Which has a higher frequencies am radio waves or fm radio waves?
FM radio has the higher frequency which is why it sounds better. AM is a lower frequency but can travel further because the waves bounce off
What does Frequency mean in music terms?
Each note has a specific frequency. The frequency is defined by the wavelengths produced by the sound. Just as FM radio stations each have specific frequencies (ie: 96.5), musical notes are the same. Think of an image of a wavelength. The more squiggles, the higher the frequency, and the higher the pitch.
Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
Types of radio waves?
Both gamma rays and radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but gamma rays are much higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than radio waves. Visible light is lower frequency than gamma and higher than radio.
Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
Which has the lowest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves radio waves visible light or gamma rays?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency in all of the electromagnetic spectrum. The next higher frequency energy is microwave, visible light including ultraviolet, infrared, X-ray, then gamma ray
How is a radio wave different from a gamma wave?
Radio waves are lower frequency.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
What are the highest- frequency and lowest -frequency parts of the EM spectrum?
The highest frequency is gamma rays And the lowest is radio waves
What is the history of gamma waves?
gamma rays are radio waves with the smallest waelength and a very high frequency.
How many electrons does gamma particles have?
A gamma particle is a photon, gamma rays are electromagnetic, like light, radio waves and X-rays. They are of very high frequency, higher and more energetic than typical hospital X-Rays.
What radiation has the smallest frequency?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency, Gamma rays have the smallest wave-length.
What are the highest-frequency and and the lowest-frequency parts of the EM system?
Lowest-frequency: Radio Waves Highest-frequency: Gamma Waves Hope this helped! :)
What takes the most energy to generate microwave or ex ray?
An X ray takes more energy to generate because it is higher frequency (second in shortest wavelength only to gamma rays). Microwaves are just higher frequency radio waves.
