What account for the differences between radio waves X-rays and gamma rays?

The difference is their position on the electromagnetic spectrum.
radio waves are on the low frequency / long wavelength end of the spectrum. X - rays and Gamma rays are on the high frequency / short wavelength end.
The only difference between x-rays and gamma rays is how they're generated. Gamma rays are created by radioactive decay and/or nuclear reactions; whereas x-rays are generated by high-velocity electrons colliding with matter.

What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
frequency energy wavelength
Which electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies?
Those are called gamma rays, or gamma radiation.
Why are only gamma rays used to sterilise equipment and not alpha?
Because gamma rays have the most electromagnetic energy.
Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?
No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-rays.
What are the similarities and differences between Xrays and gamma rays?
What are the differences between x-rays and gamma rays?
Can gamma rays and xrays pass through the human body?
Yes.
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or xrays?
gamma has the highest frequency because on a wave chart the gamma rays have the most energy and frequency
Are xrays also gamma rays?
No; gamma rays are considered a separate category of radiation, more energetic than x-rays.
Does the intensity of Xrays and gamma rays differ?
Intensity is independent of frequency or wavelength. So whether it is Xray or gamma ray both can have the same intensity.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
What is the electro-magetic spectrum?
gamma rays, xrays, uv light, visible light, infra red, microwaves, radio waves
What are some mutagen examples?
Most common mutagens:Ionizing radiation such as xrays, gamma rays and alpha particlesUltraviolet (tanning beds)Intercalating agentsBenzeneChemical spills
Does xrays have a lower frequency?
Compared to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays have a high frequency. Only gamma rays have a higher frequency.
How long are X-ray wavelengths compared with ultraviolet wavelengths?
Ultraviolet photons have wavelengths below 400nm. X-ray photons have wavelengths between 0.01nm - 10nm. Photons with wavelengths smaller than xrays' are called gamma rays.
Differences between the four main types of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma rays and neutron emission?
There are only three types of nuclear radiation - Alpha, Beta & Gamma.
What is the Difference between neutron and gamma rays?
difference between gamma rays and neutron?
