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.

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.
X-Rays have more energy than gamma rays?
Each gamma-ray photon carries more energy than an X-ray photon. So gamma rays are more penetrating than X-rays, and have a greater photoelectric effect. But you can still pack more energy into an X-ray beam, simply by generating more photons, i.e. operate a 'brighter' source.
Why a photon of red light has less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
I think it is because a photon has less energy that is why it has less ability than a gamma ray photon
Is there a light stronger than Gamma?
The highest energy photons are described as Gamma. But in terms of the strength, there are more light sources that we encounter everyday of a greater intensity than gamma, as intensity is a measure of the number of photons arriving over an area in a given time. Therefore, visible light and infra-red from the sun are much more intense than the gamma we encounter everyday, as gamma photons are few and far between.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.
Do microwave photons have more energy than infrared?
yes, by far.Gamma rays have the highest proton energy in the universe.Nothing is compared to gamma rays when it comes to energy.
Do microwave photons have more energy than photons of visible light?
A microwave signal at 50 GHz has waves that are 10,000 times as long as a visible signal at yellow (600 nm) has. Therefore the yellow photon carries 10,000 times as much energy as the 50 GHz photon does.
What gives off more energy infrared waves or gamma rays?
Gamma Rays
Do x-rays have more energy than gamma rays?
No, gamma rays have the highest energy of all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
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.
What is gamma emission?
In gamma rays atom becomes more stable by emitting excess energy in the form of gamma radiation. Gamma rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What has more energy ultraviolet rays or gamma rays?
On the elecromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have much more energy
Is a microwave coffee percolator more energy efficient than a electric coffee percolator?
Based on energy efficiency the microwave coffee percolator is more energy efficient than the electric coffee percolator. The microwave coffee percolator uses less electricity, which in turn is the more energy efficient, which is great news for all of us!
Do Gamma rays have more energy than light rays?
Theoretically, gamma rays are distinguished by their source, not by the amount of energy each photon carries, so it's not really possible to answer.In practice, most gamma rays have far more energy per photon than visible light.
X-Rays have more energy than gamma rays?
Each gamma-ray photon carries more energy than an X-ray photon. So gamma rays are more penetrating than X-rays, and have a greater photoelectric effect. But you can still pack more energy into an X-ray beam, simply by generating more photons, i.e. operate a 'brighter' source.
What electromagnetic wave has more energy than an x-ray?
A gamma ray has more energy than an X-ray.
