Well, x-rays rank higher than everything on the electromagnetic spectrum except for gamma rays. The higher a ray ranks on the electromagnetic spectrum, the more energy it has. Therefore, x-rays have more energy than visible light and anything below it, and less energy than gamma rays.

Do x-rays have a longer wave length than infrared waves?
The wavelength of Xrays is EXTREMELY short compared to microwaves. Wavelengths of xrays are from 10 to .01 nanometres. (10 nanometres is .00000001 metres). Wavelengths of microwaves are usually between 100 and 10 millimetres although they are not clearly defined. This means the wavelength of microwaves is 10 billion times longer than xrays.
Do gamma rays have more energy than microwaves?
No they do not, they have longer wave lengths, therefore less energy
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
Which of the types of electromagnetic radiation has lower energy than microwaves?
Radio.
What has more energy a microwave signal or a gamma ray?
The photon (quantum) at gamma frequency has more energy than a photon at microwave frequency has. But you can easily generate a beam of microwaves carrying more energy than, for example, the gamma rays that enter your house from space. Just use a more powerful source of microwaves to generate more photons. No big deal. The one in your kitchen that you use to heat the leftover meatloaf pours out far more energy every second than gamma rays bring into your house, but each microwave photon carries much less energy than a gamma photon does.
Which one is higher energy gamma waves ultra violet waves microwaves radio waves?
The smaller the wavelength (high frequency), the higher the energy. So gamma has the highest energy, followed by x-rays, UV, visible, infrared, microwaves, radio, in descending order. This is also why green laser-pointers are more expensive than red ones ;)
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
Do radio waves have more energy then microwaves?
Nope. Radio waves have a long wavelength, which causes them to carry little energy. For future questions about energy and waves, use the formula E=h(c/lambda). E is the energy of the wave, h is plank's constant, c is the speed of light (3x10^8), and lambda is the frequency. Have fun! ^_^
Could infrared light be used between earth and satellites instead of microwaves?
Not really. You'd lose much more energy during the passage through the atmosphere with IR than with microwaves to make IR a really bad choice for Earth-Orbit communication. Besides, building IR receivers is far more expensive than building microwave receivers.
What are microwaves repelled by?
It is more correct to say that microwaves are reflectedrather than repelled. A good electrical conductor will reflect them, and aluminum foil works well.
Do microwaves or xrays have a higher frequency?
Yes and no, but the answer is more complicated. The energy given off by the heating elements of both a toaster and microwave is electromagnetic energy. A microwave oven is a tuned source of radiation, commonly about 2.45 gigahertz with a wavelength of about 5 inches or a dozen centimeters. A toaster oven puts our radiant energy due to heating of the elements and that is a very broad source of electromagnetic energy. In the most common situation of a household toaster, the energy output is significant in the microwave and infrared (roughly millimeter to meter wavelength). Thus, the heating element of a toaster gives off energy that is both higher and lower in frequency than a microwave. The heating process of a toaster has a significant component that involves the temperature of the air which is increased when the internal surfaces of the toaster absorb the electromagnetic energy. The heating process of a toaster may be more or less a consequence of the heating of the air based on the design of the toaster. A bread toaster is different than a toaster oven in this regard. Finally, it is fair to say that the toaster puts out a significant fraction of its energy infrared part of the spectrum and that part of the toaster's output has a higher frequency than the microwave.
Is the dose of radiation more or less than an xray?
Since xrays, themselves, are a form of radiation, the question makes no sense.
